Oklahoma vs Georgia Prediction

The current betting odds have Georgia listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Georgia has looked good in their games this season with their 20-11 record overall, but their 8-10 conference record has them in the bottom half of the SEC. They have only played 3 games at neutral sites this season, but they are 2-1 in those games. Meanwhile, Oklahoma has looked good in their games this season with their 19-12 record overall, but their 6-12 conference record also has them in the bottom half of the SEC. They were really strong to start the season though and are 5-0 in their neutral site games. Oklahoma is coming off a big win over Texas in their regular season finale and they have some momentum now with 2 wins in a row, but they are 3-2 in their last 5 games and have struggled a lot against the opponents in the SEC this season. Georgia is also coming off a win over Vanderbilt in their last one and Vandy was starting to get hot down the stretch. Georgia was able to shut them down, and now they have some momentum of their own with 4 wins in a row coming into this conference tournament. Oklahoma has been good lately, but they have been a really up and down team this season while Georgia has been hitting their stride lately, getting hot at the right time. Georgia also beat Oklahoma by double digits earlier this season so they should be able to win this game again with no issues. The best way to place a bet here is on Georgia to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


"We're always talking about playing the best basketball. And these guys, the last five games we're 3-2 and the losses were right at the end. We couldn't get a stop against Kentucky or at Ole Miss. It felt great for these guys because they've been so resilient through everything." - Porter Moser after his team’s win against Texas in their last game of the regular season. 


"Great win for our team, for our program. That's four in a row in the best league in the history of basketball, college basketball. Vanderbilt is terrific. Similar to a lot of the other wins that we've had, or a few of them at least in this league, where you're begging for a stop, you're begging for an open look. Just two good teams getting after it. Vanderbilt is connected, resilient, tough and physical and they guard you. I think they did a great job at changing defenses. They've got really good balance too offensively, and diverse pieces that they utilize really well and they're going to continue to be a really tough out in the next couple tournaments. So, we're very fortunate. Feel really good about the way that we played, we continue to grow and get better, it's a really big win for us." - Mike White after his team’s win against Vandy in their last game of the regular season.
