They and the Ole Miss Rebels will face off in an SEC battle at 12:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at The Pavilion at Ole Miss. The Bulldogs are strutting in with some offensive muscle as they’ve averaged 82.6 points per game this season.

Georgia got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was RJ Godfrey out in front who went 5 for 8 en route to 14 points plus six rebounds. Godfrey had some trouble finding his footing against Charleston Southern two weeks ago, so this was a step in the right direction.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as both are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Georgia hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 82.6 points per game. However, it’s not like Ole Miss struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 80.8. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
