UGA basketball falls to 4-7 in SEC play with loss to Ole Miss

The Georgia Bulldogs lost 78-74 to the Ole Miss Rebels at home on Feb. 7. Georgia is now 4-7 in SEC conference play and 14-10 overall. Ole Miss moves to 2-9 in SEC play and 10-14 overall.

Head coach Mike White and the Bulldogs have dropped six of their last seven games after opening SEC play 3-1. Overall, Georgia basketball has been much more competitive this season, but it is clear that the Bulldogs need to improve if they want to be a future contender in the SEC.

Georgia limited turnovers (10) against Ole Miss. The Bulldogs did not shot three-pointers well and struggled from the free throw line to an extent.

Former Georgia guard Tye Fagan suited up for Ole Miss. Amazingly, Fagan,  who last played at Georgia during the 2020-2021 season, did not face any of his former teammates. That shows the amount of roster turnover the Dawgs have had recently.
