Georgia vs Auburn Game Preview
Why Georgia Will Win
The Dawgs got them the first time around.
Georgia can D up from three, it’s good on the glass, and it’s just deep enough to keep everyone fresh. That, and it’s great on the free throw line, which turned out to be a big deal in the 76-64 win over the Tigers in early January.
Auburn couldn’t hit anything from three, it was a mess defensively with way too many fouls, and Georgia was uncharacteristically great at forcing turnovers. That all has to happen again.
Expect a whole lot of Auburn fouls – that’s what it does. Expect Auburn to not do much from three – it has to get on the move. Both of those things should work for Georgia, but …
Why Auburn Will Win
Georgia has hit a snag.
Just when it seemed like it was about to be a factor, it fell into a rut. That’s partly because it’s been on the road a bunch lately.
The team has been fantastic at home so far going 11-1, but that one loss was two weeks ago against Vanderbilt, and then it struggled to get by South Carolina. On the road it has been a disaster going 1-5.
The Dawg offense screws up way too much, and it won’t get anything from three against an attacking Auburn defense that doesn’t let anyone get a free look.
Along with all of the fouls, Auburn will generate a ton of takeaways.
What’s Going To Happen
This is big.
It’s not like a loss would mean things are slipping away for Auburn, but it lost two in a row, the defense hasn’t been amazing lately, and it could use a big outing to stop the slide now.
Auburn is 16-0 when allowing fewer than 74 points and 0-6 when allowing that many or more. Georgia will be held just under that in a great effort from the Tiger D over the first ten minutes and the last five.
