Preview: Albany Tech Titans at East Georgia State Bobcats

SWAINSBORO, Ga. (Interstat) — Two Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association men’s junior college basketball teams with identical overall win totals but divergent recent fortunes will meet Wednesday when the Albany Tech Titans visit the East Georgia State Bobcats.

The Titans (8-9) enter on a four-game winning streak, their longest of the season. Albany Tech is coming off a 90-83 home victory over Southern Crescent on Saturday, powered by a double-double from forward Londarius King. King scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in that contest, part of a strong recent stretch for the standout.

East Georgia State (8-16) snapped a three-game skid with a dramatic 96-91 overtime road win at Andrew on Monday. The Bobcats will look to carry that momentum into the rematch of a Jan. 14 overtime thriller, which they won 64-55 in Albany.

Player to watch for Albany Tech is King, who is averaging 12.0 points and 7.2 rebounds over his last five games. His presence inside will be critical against an East Georgia State squad seeking consistency.

The Bobcats’ player to watch is guard Chibueze Irojanma, though his recent playing time has been limited.

Despite the Bobcats’ victory in the first meeting, both teams have struggled to find a sustained rhythm this season. Albany Tech’s current surge has balanced its record, while East Georgia State has faced difficulties in closing games, with six of its losses coming by single digits.

A Interstat game simulator projects a dead-even final score of 100-100, underscoring the anticipated competitiveness of this conference matchup.

Wednesday’s game tips off at 7:30 p.m. EST at the Bobcat Palace.
