Tennessee Tech vs Georgia Prediction College Basketball Picks 11/4/24

The Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles and Georgia Bulldogs meet Monday in college basketball action at the Stegeman Coliseum. Here’s a Tennessee Tech vs Georgia Prediction. This article will include a Tennessee Tech vs Georgia Pick.

Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles Betting Preview

The Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles plays West Georgia and VMI next. Tennessee Tech won 10 games last season and has seen double-digit wins in each of its last 3 seasons.

Rodney Johnson Jr. returns after averaging 10.7 points and 5.1 rebounds, while Daniel Egbuniwe averaged 7.6 points and 5.8 rebounds. Kyle Layton averaged 1.1 assists per game, and Grant Strong played in 154 minutes last season. Tennessee Tech says goodbye to three of its four players that averaged double-digit points. The good news is Johnson played well in his first season at Tennessee Tech and could be even better with the ball in his hands more. Tennessee Tech is an experienced team with 10 upperclassmen on the roster.

Georgia Bulldogs Betting Preview

The Georgia Bulldogs plays Texas Southern and North Florida next. Georgia won 20 games last season and enters the third year under coach Mike White. 

Silas Demary Jr. returns after averaging 9.7 points and 2.5 assists, while Blue Cain averaged 7.4 points and 2.5 rebounds. Dylan James averaged 2.6 rebounds per game and Jaden Newell played in 6 minutes last season. Georgia lost a ton of production from a year ago, including 5 of its top 6 scorers. Georgia did, however, land a 5-star recruit in Asa Newell, who is projected to be a top-10 pick in next year’s NBA Draft. Tyrin Lawrence also comes from Vanderbilt, while RJ Godfrey transfers from Clemson. The SEC is stacked this season, but there’s potential for Georgia to spring some upsets, mainly with Newell exploding onto the scene.

Why the Georgia Bulldogs will win

• Georgia has won each of its last 12 night games against non-Conference opponents at Stegeman Coliseum.
• Tennessee Tech has lost seven of its last eight night games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Tennessee Tech has lost the first half in seven of its last eight night games.

Tennessee Tech vs Georgia Prediction

The Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles are extremely experienced with 10 upperclassmen on the roster, but there’s a talent gap in this matchup. The Georgia Bulldogs return a great deal of role players from a year ago and has one of the best talents in college basketball in Asa Newell. This is a big line for a season opener, but Georgia is easily the better, more talented team. I’ll lay the points with Georgia.
