This matchup features the Oakland Golden Grizzlies out of the Horizon conference and the Georgia Bulldogs out of the SEC.
These teams have met twice in recent years, one being in 2015 and the other in 2016. Georgia won the game in 2015, and Oakland won the 2016 meeting. Both winners were the home team in these meetings, so keep in mind that this game is being played in Athens, Georgia.
Oakland Golden Grizzlies
Oakland is currently on a two game losing, which puts their record at 4-7. They will be hoping to get closer to .500 before their conference play starts. A win over a power five school will likely help them gain experience so that they will be more prepared for Horizon league play.
Oakland does not have the best offense, however they do shoot the three ball very well. Coming in at 42.7% they rank 7th in the NCAA. This will be their key against the Bulldogs. If the Golden Grizzlies can get hot from beyond the arc, they will have a good chance to knock off an average Bulldogs team. Xavier Hill-Mais will the player to keep an eye on as he is the leading scorer with 22.9 per game.

Part of the reason the Golden Grizzlies are three games under .500 is because they do not defend well at all. They allow 78.9 points per game, which ranks 308th in the country. One of the biggest problems is they allow their opponents to shoot 50.9% from the field and 38.1% from deep range. If they allow these percentages to the Bulldogs, they will have no chance in this contest.
Georgia Bulldogs
The Bulldogs nearly upset Arizona State in their last game, but a few late turnovers gave the game away. They will now try to bounce back with what appears to be a much easier opponent. However, Georgia has been known to lose to non-power five teams so they cannot afford to let their guard down.
Offensively the Bulldogs need to establish their low post game. They have had success in this area and have shown they can rebound very well. They average 43 rebounds per game, which is 9th in the country. Rayshaun Hammonds is the current leading scorer at 14.9 points per game, but generally the Bulldogs like to have a balanced offensive attack.

The Bulldogs need to work on holding leads. Especially against Arizona State they had a 14 point lead at halftime, but their lack of defense allowed the Sun Devils to come roaring back. They allow their opponents to shoot just under 40%, which is good, but regardless their second half defense needs improvement. Look for the Bulldogs to focus on limiting the Golden Grizzlies three point shooting.
