Georgia Basketball vs Texas A&M Preview

The Georgia Bulldogs will cap off their two game road stretch as they take on the Texas A&M Aggies tonight. This will be just the 13th time that these two teams face off on the hardwood in a series that the Aggies currently lead 5-7. Georgia has won just one game in the last eight matchups.

Georgia's mid-season cold streak continued in Auburn this past Wednesday when they were soundly defeated by the Tigers 94-73. The loss was the Bulldog's fourth defeat in five games. Unfortunately the Aggies will not be any lesser of a competition, as ESPN gives Georgia just over an 11% chance to win tonight's game.

Texas A&M is currently the 2nd ranked team in the SEC and had not lost an SEC matchup until a few weeks ago. The Aggies are however, coming off a disappointing loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks on the road where they made just 34% of their shots. They hope to correct their shooting woes against a Georgia team that comes in somewhat outmatched.

Despite the perceived gap in talent these two teams have, Georgia has shown a characteristic this season that its program had not seen much of before Mike White took over as head coach. Grit.

White's arrival to the Georgia this season has reinvigorated the Bulldogs and the team has shown a new sense of hustle and "scrappiness" this season. They will need rely on those traits to pull off the 12 point upset today.

The Bulldogs will be without their leading scorer Terry Roberts tonight, as he did not make the trip due to a reported concussion. Which means Mardrez McBride and Kario Oquendo will likely be tasked with carrying the offensive load. McBride has lead the Bulldogs in scoring the past two games and scored a season high 20 points in Wednesday's loss to Auburn.

Texas A&M's biggest weapon in this game will likely be forward Henry Coleman III. Though, guard Wade Taylor IV currently leads the team in points; Coleman's 6.2 rebounds a game currently leads the team and will likely help create numerous second-chance shots for the Aggies offense. The Dawgs have struggled mightily against big men in the paint as of late and will need to control Coleman's rebounding abilities to have a chance at victory.
