Georgia comes in with a 3-0 record, having secured wins over Tennessee Tech, Texas Southern, and North Florida. Their offensive output has been impressive, averaging 88.3 points per game, led by forward Asa Newell who is contributing 17.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. Georgia’s balanced team effort includes solid support from RJ Godfrey on the boards (9.7 rebounds per game) and Silas Demary, who orchestrates the offense with 4 assists per game​.

Georgia Tech, now 2-1, has also shown strength early on, rebounding from a high-scoring loss to North Florida with decisive wins over Texas Southern and West Georgia. Forward Baye Ndongo has been their key player, averaging 16.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. The Yellow Jackets have a well-rounded approach, as they average 41 rebounds per game and maintain a strong presence in the paint. However, Georgia Tech’s defense will need to stay focused to handle Georgia's high-tempo offense, as they have allowed 76.3 points per game, which could be a challenge against a Bulldogs team known for offensive efficiency.

With Georgia’s balanced scoring and Georgia Tech’s defensive struggles, the Bulldogs may have an edge in this matchup, particularly if they can maintain their shooting efficiency and rebounding control. However, we think the stats are misleading as Georgia has not looked impressive in their wins. Expect a competitive game, but we like GT to pull this out at home. Prediction: Yellow Jackets win 76-74.
