Seeking revenge from a home loss back in January, Trey Thompkins and the Georgia Bulldogs get the call in this SEC pick 'em vs. the Arkansas Razorbacks.
The SEC Tournament has gets underway today and our focus is on an evening affair between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Arkansas Razorbacks. This game’s tipoff is set for 9:45 p.m. (ET) at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
The Hogs enter the tournament riding a five-game losing streak which includes going 1-4 against the spread mark over that span. Arkansas is coming off a very tough loss in its last outing, a game in which they held a 10-point lead at the half and could not hold on as Ole Miss came back in the second half to win 68-66 as a 1½-point road favorite.
Georgia also struggled to end the regular season, losing its final two games both straight up and to the number after previously posting a 15-4 ATS mark.
Georgia will be seeking a measure of revenge tonight after blowing a 15-point halftime lead at home versus this Razorbacks team on February 3, eventually losing, 72-68.
In the previous matchup, Courtney Fortson led all scorers with 27 points for Arkansas. Trey Thompkins was the leading scorer for the Bulldogs with 21, but hit just eight of his 20 shots from the field.
If UGA can get the perimeter shooting going early, especially from behind the arc where they lead the SEC hitting 38 percent, it could be a long night for a soft Hogs “D” that allows a league-worst 74 points per game.
Key situational tech sets have the Bulldogs in an almost perfect ATS winning situation. Combine that with our TPR (Team Performance Ratings) Index which projects a Georgia win by 6.7 points, and we will back the boys from Athens as they get their revenge and advance to the next round of the SEC tournament.
Projected Final Score: Bulldogs-74 Razorbacks-67
