Georgia Bulldogs' March Madness Seeding: A Deep Dive

0:00On March 10th, just a couple weeks back, the Georgia Bulldogs men's basketball team was fighting for a spot on the March-Manus bubble. But strong winds at home against Alabama and on the road, versus Mississippi State, locked them into the tournament. Now the big question for fans is their seating, with bracket experts projecting them anywhere from a seven-seed to an eight-seed. Bracketologists have different takes on potential match-ups. ESPN sees Georgia as an eight-seed facing Ohio State in the Greenville region, with the winter advancing to play top overall seed duke. On three sports has them in a seven-ton game against the Buckeyes in Houston, while Hoops HQ projects an eight-seed trip to Chicago against Utah. State setting up a possible second-round clash, with never-one seed, Michigan. Bulldog supporters are eyeing those paths wearily, especially with rival Florida Gators grabbing a top seed in some brackets after beating Kentucky. State tournament draws can mean tough sledding against powerhouse ones, seeds in their home crowds.

1:00The SEC tournament tips off tomorrow, where Georgia holds the seven-seed. A deep run there, maybe even to the final, could boost their seating into the sweeter spots of the bracket. That would give them a better shot at dodging the top teams early and facing winnable underdogs later on. Keep an eye on the dogs this week.
