In their recent game against the Yellow Jackets, the Bulldogs dominated with a 76-point finish compared to their opponents' 62. Their shooting was efficient from inside the arc with a fifty percent success rate and they managed to secure an impressive fifty rebounds. This rebounding prowess could be pivotal against High Point, as controlling the boards often translates into controlling the game.


Another victory came when they faced off against Mercer Bears, where they notched up eighty points and shot over fifty percent from both field goals and three-point range. Their free-throw accuracy was also commendable at seventy-one percent. However, turnovers were an issue in this matchup as they gave up possession fourteen times which is something they'll need to tighten up.


The away game against Florida State Seminoles saw another win for Georgia with sixty-eight points scored and solid defense that limited their opponents to sixty-six points. The team showed resilience by overcoming a halftime deficit and outscoring Florida State in the second half.


The upcoming match promises excitement as Stegeman Coliseum has been a fortress for Georgia; its atmosphere can undoubtedly influence player performance and energize the crowd support which has historically played into Georgia's hands.


Fans can catch this exciting matchup scheduled for December 16th at 5:30 PM Eastern Time on SEC Network (channel 611). Whether you're cheering from Athens or tuning in from home, expect competitive basketball as these two teams battle it out on court.
