Missouri at Georgia: Three things to know
- Missouri suffered an 86-81 overtime loss to Arkansas Saturday. That setback came on the heels of a Wednesday loss at Ole Miss. The Bulldogs have also lost two in a row: 89-81 at Tennessee last Wednesday and 115-82 at Alabama Saturday.
- Over their first 11 games, the Tigers held opponents to a 39.3% mark from the floor. In seven games since, UM has allowed a 46.3% mark. The Tigers are just 4-3 over those seven games.
- The Bulldogs play a fast-paced style with offensive and defensive scoring averages - 78.1 points per game and 77.8 PPG, respectively - that rank as top-75 and bottom-75 in the nation. Against similar-tempo teams in the SEC, Mizzou is 3-2 against the spread.

Against the spread (ATS)
The Tigers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games against foes playing .600 ball or better. The Bulldogs are 1-4 ATS in their last five games against teams with winning road records and the Tigers are 4-3 on the road. Mizzou is the lean in this one.
Tigers F Jeremiah Tilmon will miss this game (personal), and his 6-foot-10 presence will be missed on the boards - especially against a Georgia team ranked in the top-10 in the nation in second-chance analytics.
TAKE THE TIGERS -3.5 (-110), but hold out for a full fourth point if possible.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is a lofty one but figure on UGA and UM piling up a number too close to that neighborhood to leverage into a play either way.
PASS.
