With two games left in the regular season, the Georgia Bulldogs find themselves in an uncomfortable position in the SEC as they seek to boost their NCAA Tournament resume.
The Bulldogs (18-11, 6-10 SEC) are 11th in the league, even after a two-game surge that includes an upset over then-No. 3 Florida.
Georgia was 12-1 in nonconference play as 2024 ended and was ranked No. 23 in early January, but they have struggled in the nation's top conference this season.
Will the Georgia Bulldogs make the NCAA tournament?
The Bulldogs' 83-67 win over Texas on Saturday was their first SEC away victory this season. If Georgia can win its next two games – at South Carolina (12-17, 2-14) on Tuesday and against Vanderbilt (20-9, 8-8) on Saturday, it will reach the 20-win mark. A win or two in the SEC Tournament, which begins on March 12, would help their resume.
The Bulldogs' chances were boosted after that victory over Texas as the win was a “Quad One” win.
