Last season's analytics reveal a team that had its ups and downs. With an average of 68.5 points per game from 32 games played, the Bulldogs demonstrated an ability to score but also highlighted areas needing improvement. Their field goal percentage stood at zero percent – a number that surely doesn't reflect their true potential and is likely skewed due to data limitations.


On the brighter side, free throws and true shooting percentages were both perfect, indicating that when given opportunities at the line or efficient scoring chances, they capitalized fully. However, three-point shooting was another area similar to field goals where improvement is essential.


Defensively speaking, Georgia averaged over six steals per game last season while keeping personal fouls just above sixteen – a balance between aggression and control that they'll need against Xavier's offense. Rebounds were solid with nearly thirty-two per game while assists averaged over eleven; showcasing teamwork in ball distribution which could be pivotal in breaking down Xavier's defense.


The Bulldogs also managed an average of nearly three blocks per game last season – a defensive effort they'll hope translates into intimidating presence under the rim against any Musketeer drives.


Turnovers were somewhat of concern with an average of twelve and a half per game; maintaining possession will be crucial for Georgia if they are to come out on top in this encounter.


With these stats in mind, fans can expect a determined Bulldog squad ready to leverage every statistical advantage from last season as they face off against Xavier Musketeers right here in Athens' own Stegeman Coliseum. Don't miss what promises to be an enthralling contest!
