Georgia Bulldogs vs. Missouri Tigers preview: Taking care of business

After Mark Fox and company completed a sweep over Ole Miss on Wednesday night, the panic that comes with a late-season skid has ceased in Athens. However, the Georgia Bulldogs could incite that panic once again if they fail to take care of business on Saturday afternoon against an overmatched Missouri Tigers team.

Our friends at KenPom.com have installed the Georgia Bulldogs as 13-point favorites in the contest (with both Las Vegas and off-shore outlets ready to mirror that sentiment). That isn’t a shock given the fact that Missouri enters with a dismal 8-20 mark and a 2-13 record in SEC play, but at the same time, that type of presumed margin places a bit of pressure on the Dawgs to win easily.

Barring utter disaster, the Georgia Bulldogs are an NCAA Tournament team, and that is a lot of fun to consider. Still, that excitement could evaporate in a hurry with a loss in this spot, and that makes this one a must-win at Stegeman.
