Matchup Breakdown
Georgia Outlook
The Bulldogs average 93.5 points per game, with Jeremiah Wilkinson, Blue Cain, and Marcus Millender leading the offense. Wilkinson’s 17.7 points per game highlight his consistency, while Millender’s milestone 1,000th career point underscores his experience. Georgia’s efficiency (16-4 overall record; 4-3 SEC; 93.5 scoring average) underscores their strengths. Their ability to push pace and score in bunches makes them dangerous, but defensive lapses remain a concern.
Tennessee Outlook
The Volunteers average 74.2 points per game, with Ja’kobi Gillespie, Nate Avent, and Dalton Knecht driving production. Avent’s 29 points vs Alabama highlighted his breakout ability, while Gillespie’s 18.8 points per game rank him among SEC leaders. Tennessee’s efficiency (13-6 overall record; 3-3 SEC; 69.0 points allowed per game, best in SEC) underscores their strengths. Their ability to defend and rebound makes them tough to beat, especially against high-scoring opponents.
Key Factors
This matchup may hinge on pace and rebounding. Georgia thrives on pushing tempo and perimeter scoring, while Tennessee must rely on Gillespie’s leadership and Avent’s scoring to tilt the game. Execution in the final minutes will likely decide the margin.
