Georgia Tech vs Georgia Prediction

I’ll probably just stay with Georgia. The Bulldogs were able to fend off a decent North Florida team in their last outing, shooting a nice 53.4 percent from the field with a 39-30 rebounding advantage and 15 team assists. Georgia’s offense has been great so far, with 83 or more points in all three games.

As for Georgia Tech, they didn’t shoot all that great in their win over Texas Southern—37.9 percent from the field and 76.5 percent (26-of-34) from the line—and had 14 turnovers. The rebounding edge (49-41) helped matters, though. That said, the Yellow Jackets likely won’t control the glass so well against Georgia.
