With a little over 26 hours left the Georgia Bulldogs take the court in Wichita for the program's first game in the NCAA Tournament since 2015. I - like many of you - are wondering how Georgia can pull off the upset. Well, ESPN's Joe Lunardi has given his take in his "ultimate guide" to March Madness.
He wrote this about why the Bulldogs could advance:
"Proven program builder Mike White has taken the Bulldogs from 154th in KenPom to 35th in just three seasons, relying on a rugged defense. A future NBA lottery pick in Asa Newell, a dominant post scorer who can also step out and bury a 3, has also helped this season. The Bulldogs have positional size and elite rim protection, fielding a top-30 defense that generated victories over the high-octane offenses of Florida and Kentucky."
