Game card: LSU

Opponent:  LSU
Mascot:  Tigers
Primary color(s):  Purple and yellow
Record:  11-3 (0-1)
Best player:  Jordan Mickey
Line:  LSU -3

Why Georgia will win:  Georgia needs this game to avoid an 0-2 start to conference play and to prove that the non-conference success was not a fluke.  The Bulldogs actually played really well against Arkansas on Tuesday, but were beaten by a deeper team.  LSU has similar depth to Georgia and just played two days ago.

Why Georgia will lose:  LSU's strength is inside, and that's where you beat the Bulldogs.  Jarrell Martin and Jordan Mickey are big-time players inside, and Marcus Thornton and Nemi Djurisic are going to struggle to stop them.  Throw in the fact that Mickey blocks over 3 shots per game, and you have the recipe for a long night for Georgia in the paint.

What I think will happen:  Cue the panic of the Bulldog basketball nation.  LSU wins 78-66.

What I hope will happen:
