The Georgia Bulldogs will face the Saint Louis Billikens in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday night.
Georgia basketball enters the NCAA Tournament as the No. 8 seed in the Midwest Region (Chicago), as the Dawgs held an overall record of 22-10 throughout the regular season. Star UGA playmakers Jeremiah Wilkinson and Kanon Catchings played a vital role in the Dawgs’ second straight NCAA Tournament appearance, as each player was tremendous on both ends of the floor this season. Georgia was credited with a 10-8 record during SEC play, as the Bulldogs find themselves in a battle against No. 9 Saint Louis while both teams will fight to keep their seasons alive.
Here are three bold predictions for Georgia’s matchup vs. Saint Louis in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
Wilkinson has been an excellent playmaker since his return from injury in February. The star guard has played a critical role off the bench throughout the month of March, as Wilkinson averaged 17 points and two rebounds per game during the regular season.
The talented playmaker struggled during Georgia’s loss to Ole Miss in the SEC Tournament, but Wilkinson will be in prime position to bounce back in authoritative fashion against the Billikens on Thursday evening.
Catchings has arguably been one of the best players in all of college basketball throughout the month of March. The star sophomore recorded an extremely impressive 19 points and six rebounds during the Dawgs’ loss against Ole Miss, as Catchings continues to establish himself as a focal point on Georgia’s offense night after night. He played a big role in Georgia's upset win over Alabama.
The talented forward will more than likely pick up right where he left off against Saint Louis on Thursday evening, as Catchings could dominate again.
Cyril has been widely regarded as one of the top rebounders in the entire SEC this season. Cyril currently leads the Bulldogs with a team high 5.6 rebounds per game, as Cyril will need to dominate the glass yet again against Saint Louis in the NCAA Tournament.
The talented center proved to be a major loss following his ejection in the second half against the Rebels in the SEC Tounrament, as Cyril will look to bounce back in dominating fashion against the Billikens. He'll face Saint Louis center and Atlantic 10 Player of the Year Robbie Avila early and often.
No. 8 Georgia will face No. 9 Saint Louis on Thursday evening at 9:45 p.m. ET, as the Dawgs will look to make a run throughout the NCAA Tournament.
