Yea I think Georgia is a 50/50 sort of game. It's the kinda game that really boils down to coaching, particularly if we're shorthanded as it appears

It's a game between two average to below average teams who don't really excel on either end of the floor. Georgia is 85th in offensive efficiency/97th in defensive efficiency. LSU is 94th/90th in those categories. The home court SHOULD give LSU the advantage. But if they are without two key scorers the offensive options will be limited. When these two last played Cook at 21 points. Ward didn't play. Obviously (with a good game from Jordan Wright) LSU was able to compete. But leaving Wright to be the only reliable scorer will make things much tougher. Particularly considering Wright is not playing as well now as he was earlier in the season. If both Ward and Cook are out, someone (Baker, Reed, Williams) is going to have to have a good game.
