Georgia Basketball Keeps Rolling: Bulldogs Set to Host West Georgia Before SEC Play Begins
Georgia basketball is riding high at 10-1, and with just two non-conference games left before the grind of SEC play begins, the Bulldogs are looking to fine-tune their already electric offense. Next up: an in-state showdown with West Georgia, tipping off Monday at 2 p.m. inside Stegeman Coliseum.
Let’s be clear-this is a Georgia team that’s not just winning, it’s dominating. The Bulldogs are leading the entire nation in scoring at 98.3 points per game, and they’re doing it with a balanced, fast-paced attack that’s been overwhelming opponents from the jump.
Their most recent outing? A 112-point explosion against Western Carolina, marking their fifth 100-point performance of the season.
That’s not just a hot streak-it’s a statement.
Bulldogs’ Backcourt Bringing the Heat
Two names have been leading the charge offensively: Jeremiah Wilkinson and Blue Cain. Wilkinson is pouring in 17.9 points per game, showing off a smooth scoring touch and the kind of shot-making that keeps defenses scrambling.
Cain, right behind him at 15.6 points a night, brings a versatile offensive game that’s been key to Georgia’s early-season surge. Together, they’ve formed a dynamic backcourt duo that’s been tough to slow down.
But it’s not just about the stars. Georgia’s depth has been just as impressive.
Whether it’s transition buckets, high-efficiency shooting, or unselfish ball movement, this team is clicking in nearly every phase of the game. And with the SEC schedule looming, these next two games are prime opportunities to sharpen the edges.
Who Are the Wolves?
West Georgia comes into Athens with a 6-5 record, fresh off a 21-point win over Brewton-Parker. While the Wolves don’t have the national profile of Georgia’s recent opponents, they’ll be eager to make the most of their first-ever matchup with the Bulldogs. Expect them to play with energy and pace-especially with a chance to test themselves against one of the hottest teams in the country.
