Tom Crean’s Georgia Bulldogs’ squad played in a game of firsts on Wednesday night as they traveled to Baton Rouge to face LSU. This was the first opportunity for Georgia to avenge a loss after picking up its first defeat of the season last Wednesday against Mississippi State. It also provided Georgia with the opportunity to play away from Stegeman Coliseum for the first time this season.
Georgia was narrowly defeated in overtime, losing 94-92 in an offensive shootout to remember. LSU came in as the SEC’s second-highest scoring team, averaging 85.9 points per game, so Georgia’s offensive consistency was one of the biggest storylines to watch heading into this matchup.
