Bama Can't Lose

Alabama is 22-7 record, is 12-4 in the SEC, and is the 16th team in the nation. They have been unbeatable as of late and are looking at a top-four seed for March. For More March Madness Betting Odds and Predictions, see the Full Hub".

Alabama is coming into this matchup on an 8-game win streak. This is due to how explosive they are offensively. The Tide is third in the nation in scoring, and loves track meets. Their high-scoring output is due to Nate Oats' philosophy of only threes and layups. Will this game be in the hundreds?

Run and Gun Bulldogs

Georgia is 20-9 overall and 8-8 in the SEC. They are right in the middle of the bubble. The Bulldogs have had a good season but have had an up-and-down conference play, keeping their March Madness hopes uncertain.

Georgia's identity is its pace. The bulldogs like to get up and down fast and play in transition. They are good for nearly 90 points a night with this style. Can they go stride-for-stride with Alabama?
