What to Know

Get ready for an SEC battle as the Georgia Bulldogs and the #13 Tennessee Volunteers will face off at 6:30 p.m. ET Tuesday at Stegeman Coliseum. The Volunteers will be strutting in after a victory while UGA will be stumbling in from a loss.

This past Saturday, the Bulldogs lost to the Florida Gators at home by a decisive 84-72 margin. Guard Kario Oquendo (20 points) was the top scorer for UGA.

Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Tennessee beat the Auburn Tigers 67-62 this past Saturday. Four players on Tennessee scored in the double digits: guard Santiago Vescovi (14), guard Kennedy Chandler (13), guard Zakai Zeigler (13), and guard Josiah-Jordan James (10).

UGA is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past five games.

The Bulldogs are now 6-23 while the Volunteers sit at 21-7. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: UGA has allowed their opponents an average of 8.1 steals per game, the fifth most in college basketball. To make matters even worse for UGA, Tennessee ranks eighth in college basketball when it comes to steals per game, with 9.6 on average. In other words, UGA will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
