Georgia @ Alabama

Current Records: Georgia 16-10; Alabama 22-4

What to Know

The #1 Alabama Crimson Tide will be returning home after a two-game road trip. Bama and the Georgia Bulldogs will face off in an SEC battle at 6 p.m. ET Saturday at Coleman Coliseum. The Crimson Tide are out to keep their 12-game home win streak alive.

Bama came up short against the Tennessee Volunteers on Wednesday, falling 68-59. Forward Brandon Miller (15 points) and guard Jaden Bradley (14 points) were the top scorers for Bama.

Meanwhile, UGA sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 65-63 win over the LSU Tigers on Tuesday.

Bama is now 22-4 while the Bulldogs sit at 16-10. A couple stats to keep an eye on: The Crimson Tide have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 37%, which places them third in college basketball. Less enviably, UGA has only been able to knock down 41.90% percent of their shots, which is the 37th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked against UGA.
