Game card: South Carolina

Opponent: South Carolina
Record:  12-12 (3-9)Best player:  Duane Notice
Line:  Georgia -6

Why Georgia will win:  Georgia's loss to Auburn was this year's how-did-that-happen home loss, so they should roll in Stegeman the rest of the way.  Even shorthanded, the Bulldogs are better than the Gamecocks.  Expect Kenny Gaines to play angry after he was beaten down the stretch by Auburn's KT Harrell.

Why Georgia will lose:  Ignoring the fact that Georgia has already lost to South Carolina, a thin Bulldogs team will be even thinner tonight without J.J. Frazier.  South Carolina is a perimeter team, so losing a perimeter player like Frazier does not bode well.  If Georgia is a sinking ship, this could be the torpedo that sends them to the bottom.

What I think will happen:  Literally nothing will surprise me tonight.  I expect a lethargic crowd and a struggling team.  I also think Georgia will rally and get a much needed win but, as usual, there will be drama.  Dawgs win 67-63.
