Recent Form and Trends


The Georgia Bulldogs have shown remarkable resilience and skill in their recent games, demonstrating a blend of strategic offense and steadfast defense. In their last outing against LSU, they secured an impressive victory with an 81-62 scoreline. This win was characterized by a high-efficiency game where they capitalized on turnovers, scoring 16 points off them, and dominated in points in the paint with 44. Their shooting accuracy was notable as well, with a true shooting percentage of 57 percent.


However, not all recent games have gone in favor of Georgia. A tough battle against Alabama saw them fall with a score of 69-90. Despite this setback, there were positive takeaways from the game such as their ability to draw fouls and create second-chance points which amounted to 17 - showcasing their fighting spirit even when faced with adversity.


Their resilience was once again on display against South Carolina where they emerged victorious with a scoreline of 71-60.

Looking Ahead
