Georgia basketball bracketology, projections on Selection Sunday

Selection Sunday is here.

Georgia basketball knows it will see its name in the 68-team bracket for the Men’s NCAA Tournament when it’s revealed during CBS’ show that starts at 6 p.m. on March 15.

The Bulldogs will find out their seed — projections generally have them at No. 8 — and which of eight sites for the first week of games they will head to. Some have pegged Georgia and coach Mike White to be heading to Buffalo, but Greenville is among other possibilities.

Georgia has its share of resume building wins over Arkansas, Alabama and Kentucky and quality wins away from home against Florida State and Cincinnati.

A pair of losses against Ole Miss are the only outside the top 50 of the NET, but the Rebels run to the SEC tournament semifinals have seen them bump inside the top 90.

Here’s a look at the latest projections on Sunday, March 15 for Georgia, which is 22-10.
