Georgia Bulldogs vs Ohio St. Buckeyes Betting Preview
Georgia is seeking to prolong their season following a tough SEC season. The Georgia Bulldogs faced losses in four of their last five regular-season NCAAB matchups, dropping to Auburn, LSU, Texas A&M, and Auburn once more, with their sole victory in that stretch against Ole Miss.
Leading the scoring charge for the Bulldogs is Noah Thomasson, averaging 12.9 points per game. Although Jabri Abdur-Rahim also contributes double-digit scoring, he was sidelined due to a foot injury during the recent triumph over Wake Forest, where Thomasson shone with 19 points.
Georgia’s scoring output stands at 74.8 points per game, yet they struggle with shooting woes, ranking 279th nationally with a subpar shooting percentage of under 43%. Furthermore, the Bulldogs average 11.1 turnovers per game while managing just over 6 steals.
The Buckeyes have ignited their basketball prowess following the dismissal of head coach Chris Holtmann, sending them to victory in 8 of their last 10 games after his departure. Holtmann was relieved of his duties after a road defeat against Wisconsin. Despite their commendable resurgence, the Ohio State Buckeyes suffered a narrow loss to Illinois after defeating Iowa in the Big Ten Tournament.
In their recent win over Cornell, Isaiah Gray led the charge with 19 points, anchored by Guy Ragland’s 17 points off the bench. Later, in a showdown against Virginia Tech, Ohio State witnessed five players reaching double-digit scoring, led by Jamison Battle with 21 points and 10 rebounds.
Bruce Thornton holds the lead of the team’s top scorer this season, averaging 15.8 points per game, closely followed by Battle with just over 15 per game, while Roddy Gayle has proven his ability with 13.6 points per game. As a team, the Buckeyes are averaging 75.5 points per game.
