Georgia Bulldogs vs Xavier Musketeers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Friday, 11/21/25

Georgia enters this matchup with Xavier playing some of its most explosive basketball under Mike White, highlighted by a 104-point opener against Bellarmine — the program’s highest total since 2018. The Bulldogs have shown exceptional depth and balance, with 11 different players scoring in that win and four averaging double figures early, including lead scorer Jeremiah Wilkinson. Georgia is also thriving in transition, ranking among the nation’s early leaders in fast break production, and its pace friendly style has already produced several high possession games. With a deep rotation, multiple scoring options, and an emphasis on pushing the ball, Georgia sets the table for a matchup that could escalate into an offensive showcase.

Xavier, on the other hand, enters the Richard Pitino era with essentially an entirely new roster, returning no meaningful contributors from last season but adding proven scorers through the transfer portal. Headlining the new look Musketeers is guard Malik Messina-Moore, a dynamic shooter who hit over 40% from three at his previous stop, along with forwards Tre Carroll, an AAC Most Improved player, and Filip Borovicanin, who bring length and versatility. While the turnover creates volatility, it also injects athleticism and tempo — traits Pitino has leaned on historically. Given Georgia’s willingness to run and Xavier’s roster built around scoring wings and aggressive guards, both teams appear well suited for a high possession game.
