Georgia Basketball vs Missouri Preview

The Georgia Bulldogs will look to reverse their recent fortunes as they take on the Missouri Tigers in Athens.

After a grueling road stretch, the Georgia Bulldogs are set to return to Athens to face the Missouri Tigers. This will be just the 19th total meeting between the two teams in a series that the Tigers lead 10-8. The Bulldogs have won just once in the previous six meetings.

Georgia is currently on a two-game losing skid after running up against No.1 ranked Alabama and Arkansas on the road. The Bulldogs lost the two matchups by a combined 81 points, allowing both teams to reach 95 points in each meeting. As the regular season winds down, a win against the 20-8 Tigers is needed to increase the morale for Mike White's first season with the team. 

Missouri snapped a two-game losing streak and earned its 20th win in an overtime bout against the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Tuesday and will be looking to carry the momentum into Athens. ESPN currently gives the Tigers just over a 55% chance to emerge victorious on the road.

The Georgia offense desperately needs a solid game from its supporting cast offensively. The team has been led by three different scorers in the past three games but has seen little to no production from its bench. It will take big games from Justin Hill, Kario Oquendo, and/or Braelen Bridges combined with solid performances from role players to secure a victory for the Bulldogs.

Missouri is led by its guards Kobe Brown and D'Moi Hodge. The duo currently averages a total of 30 points, nine rebounds, and four steals a game. A statistic to note however is that Georgia seems to defend against guards much better than they do against skilled big men. Something the Missouri offense lacks statistically.
