The No. 20 Missouri Tigers had their three-game winning streak snapped last week and have now lost two in a row, with a tough road matchup coming up against the Georgia Bulldogs on Tuesday night.
Missouri (13-5, 6-5 SEC) dropped to sixth place in the conference after getting blown out by the Ole Miss Rebels and an overtime loss at home to the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday. Leading scorer Xavier Pinson scored 23 points, knocking down five 3-pointers in the loss. The Tigers were without one of their best players Jeremiah Tilmon, who missed the game due to a death in the family. It’s unclear if he will be back with the team for Tuesday’s game.
Georgia (12-8, 5-8 SEC) will enter Tuesday’s game in a tie for ninth place in the conference, though the Bulldogs have played well at home winning 10 of 13 games. Like Missouri, the UGA also had a three-game streak snapped with two losses last week, most recently a 115-82 road loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday. Georgia’s defense has been a problem this season, and that was on full display as Alabama scored the most points they’ve ever scored in an SEC game in program history. K.D. Johnson scored 22 and 24 points in the Bulldogs’ last two games.

The Best Bet
The advanced stats have Mizzou as one of the luckiest teams in the country in the Top 25, and this is a gut check against a Georgia team that struggles with Quad 1 opponents. But those over stats are just too tempting here.
Pick: Over 153
