Georgia vs Texas Prediction 3/1/25 College Basketball Picks

The Georgia Bulldogs and Texas Longhorns meet on Saturday in college basketball action at Moody Center. Here’s a Georgia vs Texas Prediction. This article will include a Georgia vs Texas Pick.

Georgia Bulldogs Betting Preview

The Georgia Bulldogs (17-11, 14-14 ATS) experienced a rough period of a month or so, during which they suffered nine losses with just three wins. The Bulldogs did avoid the fifth consecutive defeat with an 88-83 home victory against No. 3 Florida but now will have to play the next two games on the road. Georgia is 12th in the SEC Standings with the same record as Texas and nine wins behind the best team in the conference and No. 1 team in the country – Auburn.

Georgia is averaging 75.3 PPG (149th) and is allowing 69.2 PPG (93rd). The Bulldogs are getting 36.6 RPG (124th) and dish out 13.0 APG (262nd). Asa Newell is the team’s top scorer with 15.4 PPG, a team-high 6.8 RPG, 1.1 SPG, and a team-high 1.1 BPG. Silas Demary Jr. adds 12.5 PPG, 3.9 RPG, a team-high 3.2 APG, and a team-high 1.7 SPG, while Dakota Leffew contributes 9.8 PPG.

Texas Longhorns Betting Preview

The Texas Longhorns (16-12, 13-14-1 ATS) are in a similar position as Georgia right now. The Longhorns lost ten of the previous 15 games and suffered five defeats in the last six. Following a home victory over Kentucky, Texas lost a pair of road games to South Carolina and Arkansas. Texas is 13th in the SEC Standings, so this tilt is the battle for 12th sport in the conference.

Texas averages 78.4 PPG (73rd) and allows 70.4 PPG (138th). The Longhorns are 185th in rebounds (35.8) and 220th in assists (13.5). Tre Johnson leads the team with 20.9 PPG, 3.1 RPG, and 2.6 APG. Arthur Kaluma follows him with 12.7 PPG, a team-high 7.9 RPG, and 2.0 APG, while Jordan Pope has 10.7 PPG and a team-high 1.2 SPG.

Why Texas will beat Georgia

• Texas has won 12 of its last 13 games at Moody Center against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Georgia has lost each of its last eight Saturday road games.
• Texas has won the first half in seven of its last eight night games at Moody Center against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Georgia vs Texas Prediction

Georgia is pretty poor away from home; the Bulldogs managed to win only one out of eight games and it was early in the season against the in-state rivals Georgia Tech. In fact, the Bulldogs lost each of their previous seven road games, failing to score more than 70 points in the process. Texas is 11-5 at home and has hit the Moneyline in 15 of its last 22 games at home. There are plenty of better options to bet on Saturday, but I am investing a small amount of my stake in Texas to cover.
