Western Carolina Catamounts (4-6) @ Georgia Bulldogs (9-1)
Georgia continues to build on a fantastic start to the season as they host Western Carolina. The Bulldogs' 9-1 record reflects a program that has taken a major step forward. Their defense has been suffocating, and they're playing with the confidence of a team that believes it belongs in the NCAA Tournament conversation.
Western Carolina enters struggling at 4-6, facing an impossible task against an SEC program playing at a high level. The Catamounts compete in the Southern Conference and simply don't have the athletes to match Georgia's depth and talent. This is a classic guarantee game where the Bulldogs should control proceedings from start to finish.
Expect Georgia to use this as a tune-up before SEC play intensifies. The Bulldogs should empty the bench in the second half and give everyone valuable minutes. Western Carolina will compete hard but lacks the firepower to keep this close.
