What to Know

The Georgia Bulldogs haven't won a game 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 7 p.m. ET at Humphrey Coliseum.

The matchup between UGA and the Kentucky Wildcats this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with UGA falling 92-77 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Despite the loss, UGA got a solid performance out of guard Kario Oquendo, who had 22 points along with seven rebounds.

Meanwhile, MSU came up short against the Ole Miss Rebels this past Saturday, falling 82-72. One thing holding MSU back was the mediocre play of forward D.J. Jeffries, who did not have his best game: he finished with 13 points on 4-for-14 shooting in his 29 minutes on the court.

UGA is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it's been tough sledding overall. They are 2-0 ATS in away games but only 5-9-1 all in all.

Both of these teams will be looking to put their recent losses behind them and walk away with a win. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
