Record: 16-6 (7-3)
Best player: Danuel House
Line: Texas A&M -3
Why Georgia will win: Texas A&M's conference record is impressive, but their wins haven't exactly been against the cream of the crop. A good win at LSU is the only one that came against the top half of the league. Georgia, meanwhile, is battle tested and hungry. They've been winning despite not even playing close to their best basketball. If it finally clicks, look out.
Why Georgia will lose: If Georgia was the surprise of the SEC last year, it's the Aggies this year. They've ridden good defense and a balanced, just-good-enough offense to 7 early conference wins and a nice chance at making the big dance. They're also undefeated at home.
What I think will happen: This is a very, very even matchup. If Kenny Gaines can shut down Danuel House, Georgia has a real shot to win. With that said, go with the home team. Aggies triumph 69-65.
