Georgia Basketball Vs Florida Preview And Prediction
On February 28, Tuesday night, the SEC game between the Florida Gators and the Georgia Bulldogs will take place at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens, Georgia.
Here's a preview of both teams:
Florida Gators
The Florida Gators have a 14-15 (7-9) record this season, and in their previous game, they lost to Vanderbilt 88-72. Despite shooting 42.9% from the field, they had a -11 rebounding margin. The Gators average 71.7 points per game, allow 68.8 points per game, and average 34.7 rebounds and 12.3 assists per game. Will Richard leads the team with 10 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 0.9 steals per game. Their shooting percentages this season are 43.7% from the field, 72.7% on free throws, and 31.9% on three-pointers.
Georgia Bulldogs
The Georgia Bulldogs have a 16-13 (6-10) record this season, and in their last game, they lost to Missouri 85-63. Despite making 10 three-pointers and shooting 41.3% from the field, they allowed 71.7 points and grabbed 36.1 rebounds per game. The Bulldogs average 69.1 points per game, allowing 71.7 points per game, and average 36.1 rebounds and 11.5 assists per game. Terry Roberts leads the team with 13.4 points, 4.2 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game. Their shooting percentages this season are 41.5% from the field, 71.8% on free throws, and 32.5% on three-pointers.
Florida Vs Georgia Prediction
Both teams' recent poor performance makes it challenging to have faith in them to cover the spread. Nevertheless, it would be unfair to judge the Georgia Bulldogs solely based on their recent home loss to Missouri since it doesn't accurately represent their usual performance at Stegeman Coliseum this season. The Bulldogs have a 5-3 record at home during conference play, including some surprising upsets against Auburn and Kentucky.
Although oddsmakers have already factored in Colin Castleton's absence, recent performances by the Florida Gators suggest that they may not be fully appreciating the value of the sidelined big man. Castleton's contributions to the team went beyond being the leading scorer (with 16.0 points per game) and rebounder (with 7.7 rebounds per game). He was also an outstanding defensive player who averaged 3.0 blocks per game and had a significant impact on numerous other shots.
Castleton's presence was truly game-changing when the Gators defeated the Bulldogs 82-75 in Tallahassee earlier this season. He blocked seven shots and played a critical role in limiting Georgia to a shooting percentage of only 16-for-48 from inside the arc.
Florida Vs Georgia Picks
In their previous encounter this season, Florida emerged victorious on their home court against Georgia. Since then, both teams have struggled to maintain a decent record and are playing mostly for pride. The upcoming rivalry game carries a lot of emotional weight, and Georgia will have the advantage of playing in front of their home crowd. The oddsmakers have the game evenly matched, which seems fair. However, I anticipate the Gators will extend their winning streak to eight games against their primary rival and emerge victorious. Florida-Georgia Prediction & Pick: Florida Gators -1.5 (-115)
