Why Georgia Will Win

Missouri is struggling a bit.

Just when it seemed like it was about to go on a roll with a three game winning streak, the defense went bye-bye against Ole Miss and Arkansas. The Tigers couldn’t keep either team from scoring, and while they didn’t get bombed on from three, they couldn’t get a rebound against the Rebels and couldn’t come up with an overtime stop against the Hogs.

What’s Going To Happen

Missouri is usually good at finding ways to win, but it hasn’t done that over the last few games. It’s not doing anything particularly wrong, but it doesn’t do anything at a high enough level to rely on, and sometimes it’s not going to get the win.

However, it’s going to win on the boards with enough second chance points to make this close. Even so, Georgia is back at home, Missouri has been just okay on the road, and in a tight game it’ll come down free throws late. The Dawgs are far better on the line.
