Georgia Bulldogs vs Auburn Tigers Analysis
The Georgia Bulldogs basketball team had a terrible year last year. The Bulldogs lost six of their games and finished a disappointing 1-17 in conference play. Georgia already has four wins this season and exceeds last year’s total wins. The Bulldogs won a thrilling overtime victory over South Carolina on Saturday. Mardrez McBride scored 17 points and Kario Oquendo had 15 points, eight of which were in overtime. Terry Roberts gave out nine assists and Frank Anselem contributed 12 points. The Bulldogs are in a position to sweep the series with Auburn. The Bulldogs held Auburn down to 35% field shooting in the first matchup and won 76-64. The Bulldogs also won the rebounding contest and turned the ball over only 11 times. The Bulldogs rank 10th in conference points per game for the season. They are fifth in 3-point shooting, but only 11th in shooting. Given that Georgia has the 13th-lowest number of turnovers per game in the conference, 11 turnovers are crucial. The Bulldogs rank 92nd nationally in points allowed per match and 56th in 3pt defense.
On Wednesday night, the Auburn Tigers will be in a bad mood when they host the Georgia Bulldogs. Auburn is coming off a 12-point defeat at Georgia earlier in the season and, most recently as part of SEC/Big 12 challenges, an 80-77 loss to West Virginia. The Tigers trailed by 16 points at halftime and fell behind quickly. With less than three minutes remaining, they were able to whittle down the lead to one point. However, the Mountaineers managed to hold on to the win. Jaylin Williams, who scored 18 points for the Tigers while shooting 7-0f-11 on the field, was the top scorer. If they are to get some revenge, the Tigers must shoot better than in their first matchup against the Bulldogs. Auburn ranks seventh in the conference for scoring offense. They rank sixth in field goal percentage, and only 13th in the SEC for 3pt shooting. Auburn has slightly better basketball defense than Georgia. They rank 11th in SEC for the fewest turnovers per match. Auburn is the 37th-best scoring defense in the nation. The Tigers rank 13th in opponents’ shooting percentage, and second in the nation in 3pt defense.

Georgia Bulldogs vs Auburn Tigers Free Pick
This is a good spot for the Tigers, as it will help them to overcome and bounce back on their recent troubles. It’s also a bad spot for the Bulldogs. Auburn performed poorly in the first matchup. They struggled from the field and had a rare defensive hiccup. Expect the Tigers will be able to dominate the perimeter and cause more Bulldog turnovers that the 11 Georgia made in the first matchup. Georgia is the underdog and it seems that they’ll drop this battle based on college basketball betting odds.
Free Pick: Auburn Tigers -10.5 (-105)
