bb_fan Georgia State comes to the Convo Saturday at 1:00 in what should be a packed house of 3,800 or whatever number they decide the Convo holds. If you want to see this in person probably best to buy your ticket online prior to game day. Massey sez KSU by 4. Pomeroy sez Georgia State is 4 points better on a neutral court so lets say he calls it a 1 point win for the Panthers.
KingOwl I will be there! Who else is going? Would love to meet some of you guys. PS: Meeting strangers off the internet in 1999=bad. Meeting strangers off the internet in 2023=good?
HootyHooKSU I really wish this game wasn't the same day as the conference championships for football.
KingOwl They just moved the WBB to 3:30 from 4:00. Maybe they are trying to push up the MBB start time a half hour too?
bb_fan KingOwl My total guess is that they expect a full house for the mens game and this gives them time to clear the arena before admitting people into the mens game. It would be tempting to buy a ticket for the womens game and then hang out for the mens if it's a sellout.
bb_fan Never mind. Men's game is before the women's game so my guess of an answer is wrong. 2nd guess -- which is the opposite of the first -- maybe they're starting the women's game earlier so that some people will stick around and catch the women play. Last night's attendance was 414.
KingOwl bb_fan They gotta wind the clock 30 minutes either way. That's a long time to wait for Coastal Georgia
Kmase14 Why am I nervous about this non-conference early season game? For the season it doesn't really matter much but for the program this game feels so big. It just feels like a win Saturday really shows Kennesaw is on the map in Georgia and a real program to notice this year and going forward and a loss makes last year feel more flukey. Either way I KNOW our program is better and better. OWLS BY 90!
bb_fan Pomeroy has KSU #238 and Ga State #166 Massey has KSU #204 and Ga State #213 CBS NET (NCAA NET isn't out yet) has KSU #116 and Ga State #291 Quite a difference between Pomeroy and CBS NET. CBS NET has KSU above UGA and Ga Tech so take that rating with a grain of salt.
bb_fan It's early so some stats are the result of teams having outlier results, or the quality of the competion, but this one is worrisome for KSU: KSU 3 point shooting percentage is #292/351. Will this improve against Ga State? Ga State's defense against the 3 is #35/351.
HOOTSTATE Anybody need 4 tickets for today? I'm traveling today and have to watch the game from the road. Would rather a few extra Owls fans get in the building instead of leaving my sets empty
HOOTSTATE chandler-wright Yeah shoot me a message on Twitter at the same username and I can send the screenshots
Wingman Great win. We got an early lead and kept it until the final buzzer. Although our troubles from the free throw line made it a little more interesting in the last few minutes. Great performance by Cottle. It’s astonishing that this was our first meeting with GA State since we became D1. I’ve been to many games in the convo and this was the first time I sat in the upper deck. I am glad we need to use those seats now.
