Georgia Basketball vs Ole Miss Preview

The Georgia Bulldogs will look to snap their losing streak as they host the Ole Miss Rebels this Tuesday evening

The Georgia Bulldogs are set to host the Ole Miss Rebels tonight in what feels like a "must-win" game to change the outlook of the season. This will be the 2nd time these two teams play this season and 122nd meeting all time. Georgia currently leads the series 74-47.

After starting the season 13-4, the Bulldogs promising start quickly turned into a harsh reality as the Dawgs have now lost five of their last six games. Now, in the midst of their toughest stretch of the season, winning 20 games seams less likely to happen. A win tonight would give the Bulldogs some much needed positive momentum as they enter the final stretch of the regular season.

The Rebels' have fallen on similar misfortune as the Bulldogs as of late. After beginning the season 9-2, they have now lost 11 of their last 12 matchups and are currently on a 5 game losing streak. Their 1-6 record on the road does not bode well for their hopes at a win tonight either as ESPN gives them just over a 39% chance to win. 

Georgia's leading scorer Terry Roberts is still listed as questionable ahead of tonight's game. Robert's who suffered a concussion in the loss against Auburn, did not play Saturday against Texas A&M. His absence on the road proved detrimental to the Bulldog offense against the Aggies as they were held to their second lowest point total all season. Should he not play tonight, the Bulldogs will need a major contribution from either Mardrez McBride, Kario Oquendo, or Jabri Abdur-Rahim to emerge victorious.

Rebels forward Myles Burns will likely cause the most issues for the Bulldogs who have struggled against big men in the paint as of late. Neutralizng Burns, who averages just over six rebounds a game will be imperative for creating 2nd chance shots for the Bulldog's offense that could be down a major contributor in tonight's game.
