Georgia’s season ended not where it expected to be.
Before the season began, the Bulldogs envisioned a return trip to the NCAA Tournament. Too many close losses and not enough top-50 wins turned out to be what would keep Georgia out of the big dance for the second consecutive season.
Short-handed without Yante Maten (sprained knee) and Juwan Parker (torn right Achilles), the Bulldogs lost to Belmont in the first round of the NIT Wednesday night. That has Georgia already looking ahead to next season’s group.
Head coach Mark Fox will return for a ninth season.
