Game card: Minnesota

Opponent:  Minnesota
Mascot:  Golden Gophers
Primary color(s):  Maroon and Gold
Record:  3-2
Best player:  Nate Mason
Line:  Minnesota -4.5

Why Georgia will win:  Minnesota finished the game against St. Johns ice cold.  They were extremely sloppy, which Georgia can take advantage of due to their experience.  Frankly, Georgia is just plain due in November tournament play, their last such win coming on November 29, 2010 over Manhattan in Orlando.

Why Georgia will lose:  Another game, another 7-footer in Elliot Eliason.  Nate Mason is hitting 60% of his 3-pointers, which is a huge advantage over a Georgia team that can't find the range.  Georgia is just plain bad in tournament play, and there's no reason to expect that to change tonight.

What I think will happen:  Georgia wins a close one 74-70.
