Oklahoma vs Georgia Prediction 3/12/25 College Basketball Picks

The Oklahoma Sooners and Georgia Bulldogs meet on Wednesday in college basketball action at Bridgestone Arena. Here’s an Oklahoma vs Georgia prediction. This article will include an Oklahoma vs Georgia Pick.

Oklahoma Sooners Betting Preview

The Oklahoma Sooners (19-12, 16-15 ATS) went through their most challenging period of the season during which they lost seven of eight games and were on a five-game losing streak, their longest skid of the year. The lone win was against Mississippi State, while the Sooners returned to winning ways with victories over Missouri and Texas. Oklahoma ended the regular season in 13th place in the SEC Standings.

Oklahoma averages 78.6 PPG (68th) and allows 74.5 PPG (259th). The Sooners are 369th in rebounds (32.2) and 194th in assists (13.7). Jeremiah Fears leads the team with 16.3 PPG, 4.1 RPG, a team-high 4.2 APG, and a team-high 1.5 SPG. Jalon Moore follows him with 16.2 PPG and a team-high 5.8 RPG, while Duke Miles chips in 9.9 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 2.2 APG, and 1.5 SPG.

Georgia Bulldogs Betting Preview

The Georgia Bulldogs (20-11, 17-14 ATS) were unlucky to face four ranked teams in the space of four games and lose them all. Defeats to Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Missouri, and Auburn were perhaps expected, but the Bulldogs did respond with a four-game winning run to conclude the season. Georgia beat Florida, Texas, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt and finished in 10th position in the SEC Standings.

Georgia is averaging 75.6 PPG (135th) and is allowing 68.9 PPG (89th). The Bulldogs are getting 36.6 RPG (128th) and dish out 12.5 APG (313th). Asa Newell is the team’s top performer with 15.1 PPG, a team-high 6.5 RPG, 1.1 SPG, and 1.0 BPG. Silas Demary Jr. has 13.1 PPG, 4.0 RPG, a team-high 3.1 APG, and a team-high 1.7 SPG, while Dakota Leffew contributes 9.9 PPG and 2.1 RPG.

Oklahoma vs Georgia Prediction

These two teams have met just once so far and it was this season when Georgia secured a 72-62 win at home. I think the Bulldogs are slightly better and I am leaning toward them, but will avoid betting on the winner or spread. Oklahoma’s defense is struggling at the moment, but its offense looks fine. Georgia has a stronger defense, and even though the Sooners failed to reach a 70-point mark the last time they met, I am backing them to do it on Wednesday. The Bulldogs will contribute enough for this tilt to go Over. Oklahoma has hit the Team Total Over in 19 of its last 32 games, while the Sooners have hit the Game Total Over in 19 of their previous 32 games.
