The set-up: The 18-10 Georgia State Panthers are on the road in Sun Belt Conference action Monday night, playing at the 19-9 the Arkansas State Red Wolves. The Panthers are 11-5 in SBC play (tied with Ga. Southern), while the Red Wolves are a half-game back at 10-5. All SBC teams are looking up at 12-3 Texas-Arlington.

Georgia State: The Panthers' best player is the 6-8 Hollowell (15.4 & 5.5) and the 6- 8 Clayton (6.1 & 7.0) joins him up front, leading the team in rebounding. There is depth on the perimeter, although only Simmonds (12.8) averages in double figures. Four others average between 6.6 and 8.5 PPG but Seymour has missed the past three games while tending to a personal matter and it is unknown if he will rejoin the team for Monday's game.

Arkansas State: The Red Wolves are a perimeter-oriented group, led by Carter (16.3), Simms (13.4 & 4.9), Lindsey (10.6) and PG Thomas (8.4 & 5.7 APG). The 6-7 Bruce (7.2 & 5.10 is the team's leading rebounder.

Th pick: This will be the only meeting between the two schools this season and while ASU is 11-1 SU (7-3 ATS) at home this season, I believe Georgia State is the better team and that Hollowell will the best player on the court. Georgia St. is an 8* play.
