The No. 9-seed Georgia Bulldogs and No. 8-seed the Gonzaga Bulldogs square off in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Georgia (20-12, 8-10 SEC) and Gonzaga (25-8, 14-4 West Coast) are in the Midwest Region of the bracket and will play on Thursday, March 20 at approximately 4:35 p.m. ET in Wichita, Kansas.
Georgia enters the Gonzaga game as underdogs and most experts are picking Gonzaga to win. Gonzaga has a more experienced team and has superior guard play, but they have some notable weaknesses and have not been playing in the best conference in college basketball, the SEC.
