The Georgia Bulldogs are projected to safely make the NCAA Tournament despite having a losing record in SEC play. Georgia basketball is projected to be the No. 9 seed in ESPN's latest bracketology.
A record-setting 13 SEC teams are projected to make the SEC Tournament. The SEC's strength is a big reason why Georgia (20-12, 8-10 SEC) is an NCAA Tournament lock. The Bulldogs ended their regular season on a four-game winning streak to give a major boost to their March Madness hopes.
Georgia lost to Oklahoma in the first-round of the SEC Tournament, so the Bulldogs will be looking to regain their form in the NCAA Tournament.
ESPN predicts that Georgia will play the No. 8 seed Memphis Tigers (28-5, 16-2) in the Wichita region. The winner of the Georgia-Memphis game would go on to play the winner of No. 1 Houston versus No. 16 SIU Edwardsville if things go according to ESPN's bracketology.
Similar to ESPN, USA TODAY Sports has Georgia as a No. 9 seed and predicts that the Bulldogs would play the projected No. 8 seed, Gonzaga. The Georgia-Gonzaga winner would also likely play No. 1 Houston.
Other potential opponents for Georgia include other projected No. 8 seed like the Mississippi State Bulldogs, Marquette Golden Eagles, Creighton Bluejays and Connecticut Huskies.
"I feel a bit of an opportunity right around the corner," said Georgia basketball coach Mike White ahead of the NCAA Tournament. "I'm excited for Sunday, and we'll be prepared to go to battle."
Selection Sunday, which reveals the NCAA Tournament bracket, will be televised on CBS at 6:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 16.
