Analysis
Root Reserve on Florida Gulf Coast I’m going with Florida Gulf Coast in this one. The Eagles took a tough one-point overtime loss to Central Florida in their opener last week despite shooting pretty well on 45 percent from the field and 93 percent (25-of-27) from the line alongside a 37-27 rebounding edge. As for Georgia, they got past NC Central in their opener last week, shooting 44 percent from the field with 37 rebounds. The Bulldogs gave up just 38 percent shooting on defense, but did stay pretty cold from outside (23 percent on 6-of-26) and the line (67 percent on 20-of-30). In game two Georgia got a 14-point win over Presbyterian. The Georgia Bulldogs were great on ball control with just three turnovers but did give up 50 percent shooting on defense. Florida Gulf Coast may be able to find some open shots if they can keep the turnovers under control. Florida Gulf Coast is athletic enough to stick defensively with Georgia. I like that they a have good shooting from the free throw line. I’m sure we can keep it within this point spread.
