Mike Marsh has 9.2 PPG with 4.8 RPG and Tommy Bruner has 8.8 PPG with 2 APG. Osayi Osito also has a team-high 5.8 RPG to lead Jacksonville on the glass up to this point in the season. As a team, Jacksonville is averaging 65 PPG on 45.8% shooting from the field, 28.4% from three and 68.6% from the foul line while allowing 54.2 PPG on 37.7% shooting from the field and 29.6% from three this season.

Braelen Bridges leads the Bulldogs in scoring with 12.5 PPG along with 5.5 RPG while Aaron Cook has 11.3 PPG with a team-high 7 APG. Kario Oquendo has 10.9 PPG and Jailyn Ingram has 10.5 PPG with a team-high 6.4 RPG to finish off the group of double-digit scorers for Georgia so far this season. As a team, Georgia is averaging 68 PPG on 44.5% shooting from the field, 30.7% from three point range and 67.9% from the foul line while giving up 70.3 PPG on 43.2% shooting from the field and 31.5% from behind the three point line up to this point in the season.
Jacksonville is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400. Georgia is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games against a team with a losing road record while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 home games against a team with a road winning percentage below .400.
I get the case that could made for either side here, as Jacksonville has made life hard for teams like Minnesota and UCF, while Georgia’s had their own ups and downs this season. Instead, I’m going to side with the under here as this feels like a first to 60 kind of game and even if we get up to the mid-60s, I don’t know how we get over the number. Give me the under in this matchup.
