Winners of their last four, the Aggies enter conference play with an 11-2 record, the best start after 13 games since the 2017-18 season. Fifth-year senior Quenton Jackson had a career night in the 85-59 victory over Central Arkansas on Dec. 29. The Los Angeles native dropped 31 points, becoming the first Aggie to score 30-or-more in a single game since Danuel House in the 2016 SEC Tournament Championship.

Georgia (5-8) is led by Braelen Bridges, who is the team's leading scorer and rebounder at 12.8 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. Kario Oquendo and Aaron Cook are averaging 11.5 and 10.6 points, respectively.
