Georgia vs LSU – 1/23/19 College Basketball Pick, Odds, and Predictions
Georgia Bulldogs vs LSU Tigers College Basketball Wednesday Jan 23, 2019 (7:00pm est) Current Odds: LSU -11, Total Points 151

LSU has won its past 17 home games, dating to last season. Its last home loss was a 61-60 setback against the Bulldogs last January.
The most recent LSU win was an 89-67 home rout of South Carolina on Saturday in which LSU led by as many as 33 points. Six Tigers scored in double figures.
Senior forward Kavell Bigby-Williams was named SEC Player of the Week for his play against the Gamecocks and in an 83-69 victory at Ole Miss on Jan. 15. He averaged 13 points, 10.5 rebounds and had six blocks in the two wins, making 71.4 percent of his field goal attempts (10 of 14) and 6 of 8 of his free throws.
The Bulldogs have lost their last three games, falling to nationally ranked Auburn and Kentucky, before losing at home to Florida, 62-52, last Saturday.
Georgia trailed by 10 points at halftime but led by as many as five points in the second half before falling short against the Gators. The Bulldogs shot 57.9 percent in the second half, but finished at just 39.5 percent for the game.
“When you play the game to score, you rarely do,” Georgia first-year coach Tom Crean said.
“When you play the game to move the ball, defend, get on the glass, talk on defense, and when the ball’s finding energy, it’s amazing how many people score. We saw what can happen in the second half. When we bear down and play the right way with a spirit and a toughness, that’s going to make us different.”
Georgia committed 20 turnovers, which led to 28 points by the Gators.
“I think we have plenty enough shooters that those (shooting) problems will fix themselves,” senior forward E’torrion Wilridge said. “When we struggle, it is not that big of a deal because we shoot so much every day that we are not too worried about missing shots. But we just got to keep up the pace.
“We had some timely turnovers that killed that momentum. I think that is what swung it in their favor. We can’t have those live-ball turnovers that lead to points. That really swings the momentum.”
