What to Know

The Georgia Bulldogs haven't won a matchup against the Mississippi State Bulldogs since Feb. 14 of 2017, but they'll be looking to end the drought Wednesday. UGA and MSU will face off in an SEC battle at 6:30 p.m. ET at Stegeman Coliseum. The neutral point spread forecasts a close one for these two.

UGA came up short against the Florida Gators this past Saturday, falling 82-75. One thing holding UGA back was the mediocre play of guard Kario Oquendo, who did not have his best game: he finished with only nine points on 3-for-10 shooting in his 29 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, MSU was able to grind out a solid victory over the Ole Miss Rebels this past Saturday, winning 64-54. MSU's forward Will McNair Jr. filled up the stat sheet, picking up 13 points in addition to seven rebounds. McNair Jr.'s performance made up for a slower game against the Tennessee Volunteers last Tuesday. McNair Jr.'s points were the most he has had all year.

UGA ended up a good deal behind MSU when they played when the two teams previously met in January of last year, losing 88-72. Maybe UGA will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
