UGA basketball expected to finish No. 12 in SEC

The media has picked the Georgia Bulldogs to finish No. 12 in the SEC. No players on Georgia basketball made the preseason All-SEC team.

Head coach Mike White helped improve the Georgia basketball roster for the 2023-2024 season. Georgia finished No. 11 in the SEC last year. The Bulldogs went 16-16 overall including 6-12 in SEC play. Georgia returns a fair amount of roster continuity, so the Dawgs have a legitimate shot to outperform preseason expectations.
