Advantages Why Charlotte can win
- Home court: Charlotte play at home, worth about 3 points in college basketball, more than in the NBA.
- Net rating (points per 100 possessions): Charlotte 200th (-1.5), Georgia State 309th (-9.9) of 365.
- Three-point shooting: Charlotte 86th (35.6%), Georgia State 315th (31.2%) of 365.
- Charlotte's offense (111.7 points per 100 possessions, 108th in Division I) meets a Georgia State defense that ranks 201st.
- Team matchup: where Charlotte can take advantage. Their offensive rebounding (66th of 365) meets the Georgia State defensive rebounding (313th), so look for them to crash the glass for second chances. And their shooting efficiency (75th of 365) meets the Georgia State shooting defense (146th): a chance to get clean looks against a defense that gives them up.
- Star matchup: At forward, Arden Conyers (Charlotte: 7.4 pts, 1.5 reb, 0.5 ast, Game Score 4.4) has the edge on James Cooper (Georgia State: 1.0 pts, 1.5 reb, 0.2 ast, Game Score 0.6).
- Simulation: Charlotte win 3,705 of 5,000 simulated games.
Disadvantages Why Charlotte may not
- Ball security (turnovers per 100 possessions): Georgia State 125th (15.9), Charlotte 281st (18.3) of 365.
- Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations Charlotte lose by 7 or more.
- Weak spot: Charlotte rank 345th of 365 in turnovers forced per 100 possessions (13.5).
- Weak spot: Charlotte rank 293rd of 365 in defense, points allowed per 100 possessions (113.2).
- Team matchup: where Georgia State can push back. Their ball pressure (193rd of 365) meets the Charlotte ball security (281st), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition.
- Star matchup: Best player against best player, Jelani Hamilton (Georgia State: 17.8 pts, 4.6 reb, 2.3 ast, Game Score 12.6) has the edge on Dezayne Mingo (Charlotte: 12.6 pts, 3.4 reb, 4.6 ast, Game Score 9.9).
- Upset odds: Georgia State win 1,295 of 5,000 simulations (26%). A 74% pick still loses about 3 times in 10.
