Women's Sports Women's Basketball

Part of the MAC/Sun Belt Challenge. Miami beat SBC Coastal Carolina to begin the year. Saturday they welcome Georgia Southern, who is another tough challenge and better than Coastal. Of note, Tamar Singer is 6 assists away from tying the Miami single season assist record. As she averages 7.7 assists a game, should she hit her average she sets the new record and still will have 8 regular season games to play.

Georgia Southern is 17-5 overall, 10-2 in Sun Belt action and is tied for second in the conference standings. The Eagles feature a balanced offensive attack, with four double-digit scorers, led by Destiny Garrett (15.5 ppg.), McKenna Eddings (13.4 ppg.),Kishyah Anderson (13.4 ppg.) and Shanti Simmons (11.3 ppg.). Georgia Southern is a good team and would be a top third MAC team.

Overall, Miami excels in defense and shooting efficiency, while Georgia Southern has a more potent offense and has been battle-tested against better competition. Miami’s metrics may be inflated by a weaker schedule, but their defensive prowess stands out.

Overall, Miami excels in defense and shooting efficiency, while Georgia Southern has a more potent offense and has been battle-tested against better competition. Miami’s metrics may be inflated by a weaker schedule, but their defensive prowess stands out.Prediction for the Game Outcome (Miami (OH) Home vs. Georgia Southern on Feb 7, 2026)To predict the outcome, I used a combination of SRS (which accounts for margin of victory and SOS) and recent performance trends. The SRS difference (Georgia Southern +0.72 over Miami) suggests a slight edge to GS on a neutral court.

However, home-court advantage in women’s college basketball typically adds 3-4 points to the home team (based on historical data across Division I).

Adjusting for home (add ~3.5 to Miami), the expected margin is Miami by ~2.8 points. Factoring in Miami’s superior home defense (allowing just 54.4 PPG in last 5) against GS’s road offense (67.2 PPG), and GS’s weaker defense (DRtg 90.4) facing Miami’s home scoring (75.6 PPG), this tilts further toward Miami.Predicted Outcome: Miami (OH) wins 72-68. This is a close contest, but Miami’s defensive efficiency and home dominance should prevail over GS’s offensive edge, especially given GS’s road variability (including a recent loss).

Ball State and NIU were road games for Miami.
