Georgia fans thrilled after UGA basketball makes March Madness for first time in a decade
Georgia Bulldogs basketball fans are thrilled after Georgia ended their NCAA Tournament drought. The Bulldogs (20-12, 8-10 SEC) are the No. 9 seed in the Midwest Region of the bracket and will play the No. 8-seed Gonzaga Bulldogs (25-8, 14-4 West Coast) on Thursday in Wichita, Kansas. Georgia had not made the NCAA Tournament since 2015. The Bulldogs are one of 14 SEC teams (new NCAA record) to make March Madness. Georgia was pretty confident in their NCAA Tournament hopes after a recent four-game winning streak. Still, you never know what the selection committee will do, so it was a relief to many UGA fans when they finally heard their name called in the bracket reveal. "And in that eight-nine game, they (Gonzaga) will face a Georgia Bulldogs squad that took down Florida, Kentucky and St. John's," said Adam Zucker of CBS. "As they (Georgia) go for their first tournament win since 2002."
