Matta was most recently with Ohio State from 2004-17 and directed the Buckeyes to nine NCAA Tournament appearances, five Sweet 16s, three Elite Eights and two Final Fours.

Matta met with Georgia officials Monday and was spotted by the Athens Banner-Herald at the Athens-Ben Epps Airport boarding a plane for Indianapolis. Matta will apparently decide within the next 24 hours if he will take the Georgia job or not.
