A win for Georgia would not only be a significant boost to their tournament chances but also a much-needed confidence booster after dropping two of their last three games. On the other hand, a Florida win would extend their win streak and keep them atop the SEC standings. With both teams having impressive quad records, this matchup has real consequences for the tournament field. Florida's 6-4 Quad 1 record and Georgia's 3-4 Quad 1 record make this a crucial game for both teams.
