Georgia vs UNC College Basketball Preview
Georgia Basketball
The Georgia Bulldogs are a bit of a rarity in today’s NIL-fueled arms race for the best players in college basketball. They bring back a ton of production and look to make their third straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
They’ve lost in the first round as the No. 8 seed in back-to-back years, but with so much continuity this season, they expect to make a deeper run.
Three of their returning players are upperclassmen, led by Blue Cain and Marcus Millender. Those two account for the bulk of their scoring, averaging 25 points per game to start the season.
UNC Basketball
Mike Malone took over a program that has chased title number seven for 10 years, and based on this roster, they'll likely be waiting a little longer.
The Tar Heels do have some holdovers from a season ago, but the ACC is loaded with Duke, Virginia, Miami and Louisville, all legitimate Elite Eight teams.
Watching this group early, I haven't been impressed. The Heels won by 13 points or fewer against Western Carolina and Wyoming, and now face a step up in class with Georgia.
Based on KenPom rankings, the bible of college basketball analytics, UNC is projected to win 11 straight to start the season. But the Heels' inconsistencies from last season won’t be forgotten with this rebuilt roster.
Georgia vs. UNC Pick, Betting Analysis
I think it’s hard to lay points with North Carolina. I might be the only one to think this, but is Chapel Hill the same home environment we’ve grown accustomed to?
The Tar Heels have already seen the pro coach-to-college coach transition not work out in football; I don’t think this will be different.
Georgia comes in as the team with much more experience playing together. And I think this spread should likely be closer to 2.
I think there’s a ton of value in backing the Bulldogs outright, but I wouldn’t oppose taking the points for insurance.
Pick: Georgia ML +155
