Record: 23-11
Best player: Travis Trice
Line: Michigan State -5
Why Georgia will win: Almost a full week off should have the Bulldogs as close to healthy as they've been since conference play began. Marcus Thornton and Nemi Djurisic know this could be the last game of their careers, so they will come out motivated and control the paint. Kenny Gaines should be able to take away either Trice or Valentine.
Why Georgia will lose: Georgia may be wide-eyed, but Michigan State won't just be happy to be here. Tom Izzo doesn't care about making the tournament - he wants to win. A steadily improving Spartans team shouldn't have much difficulty on the big stage against a feisty but over-matched Georgia team. If the 3's start falling for Trice and Valentine, look out.
What I think will happen: My head says to pick Michigan State, but it's tournament time, and the tournament is all about heart, isn't it? Georgia finds a way, 67-65.
