2023-2024 Georgia Bulldogs basketball schedule

The 2023-2024 Georgia basketball schedule has been released. Georgia has a tough schedule that features nonconference games against Florida State, Oregon, Wake Forest and Miami.

The Bulldogs will rely on quite a few transfers this season, but they have a talented roster that should help Georgia improve on last year’s 16-16 record.

The Dawgs played a lot better in Year 1 under head coach Mark White. However, Georgia went only 6-12 in the SEC games and looks to improve on that record in 2023-2024. Georgia’s returning roster continuity should help the Bulldogs be a better SEC team.
