Texas Vs Georgia preview: Longhorns take five-game streak to Athens
The texas vs georgia rematch brings a clear storyline: Texas arrives on a five-game winning streak while Georgia looks to capitalize on momentum from a road win. Tip is scheduled for 3: 30 p. m. ET at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens; the game is the second meeting between the teams this season.
Texas Vs Georgia: Game Preview
This is the second time the teams meet this season; the Longhorns won the first matchup by 20 points when Georgia was ranked No. 21. Texas continued its run with a midweek victory over the LSU Tigers, jumping out to a quick start and looking dominant in spurts before the Tigers closed to create an intriguing finish that the Longhorns ultimately held. The Longhorns are aiming to extend their five-game winning streak on the road.
Georgia hopes to carry momentum
Georgia enters at 18-8 and is coming off a road victory over the Kentucky Wildcats earlier in the week. The Bulldogs will host this rematch in Athens and will be trying to flip the result after the initial 20-point loss earlier in the season. That home-game momentum is the central narrative for Georgia as the teams meet again.
Players who could decide outcome
Forward Dailyn Swain was the standout in the first meeting, scoring a game-high 26 points while shooting 75 percent from the field and 50 percent from three, and adding six rebounds, five steals and two assists. Over conference play since then, Swain is averaging 17. 7 points while shooting 57 percent from the field, along with 7. 4 rebounds, 3. 3 assists and 1. 8 steals, and is playing over 30 minutes per game.
Guard Tramon Mark is finding rhythm again after an 18-point outing in the win over LSU. In the earlier matchup with the Bulldogs, Mark was the second-leading scorer with 23 points, shooting 62 percent from the field and contributing six rebounds, four assists and a steal. Those two Longhorns remain central to Texas' offense and defensive energy in the rematch.
What to watch and forward look
Key elements to monitor: whether Texas can reproduce the early-game dominance it showed in the midweek win, and whether Georgia can sustain the momentum from its recent road victory. If Texas sustains its current form and the performances from Swain and Mark stay strong, the Longhorns will enter March in an advantageous position. If Georgia leverages home-court momentum, the rematch could tighten compared with the earlier 20-point result. Specific adjustments and in-game developments are not publicly confirmed at this time.
