The No. 8 seed Georgia Bulldogs lost an NCAA Tournament game to a mid-major school in embarrassing fashion for a second consecutive year. The No. 9 seed Saint Louis Billikens dominated Georgia in every aspect of the game in a 102-77 win over the Bulldogs.
Georgia suffered its largest loss of the season and was dominated on the glass 47-36. Georgia got 30 points from guard Jeremiah Wilkinson, but it was not close to enough for the Bulldogs and coach Mike White.
Georgia did not have a productive day on either end of the court. The Bulldogs shot just 35% while allowing the Billikens to shoot 58%. Georgia never held a lead and trailed by as much as 40 at one point.
Saint Louis had 27 assists to Georgia's nine and dominated Georgia in the paint. The Billikens outscored Georgia 66-28 in the paint and advance to play the No. 1 Michigan Wolverines on Saturday, March 21.
Georgia basketball key contributors Kanon Catchings (0-11 on field goals) and Somto Cyril (0-1 on field goals) in 12 minutes both made minimal offensive contributions for UGA.
The Saint Louis loss is a major step back for the Georgia basketball program, who had a historic season, but clearly did not have a team that was able to make significant run in March Madness. The Bulldogs will be back to the drawing board with the transfer portal and offseason chaos coming up.
It was impressive that Georgia made the NCAA Tournament after having low expectations in 2025-2026, but the Bulldogs did not have the March Madness run they were hoping for.
