Georgia back for Mike White’s fifth season after a 22-win year and 2nd straight NCAA tourney berth
The Bulldogs return six players, including four starters, after setting a school record with 22 regular-season wins and reaching the NCAA tournament again.
Mike White enters his fifth season as head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, building on last year's record-setting 22-win campaign.
The Bulldogs' 22 regular-season wins set a school record, and their consecutive March Madness bids were the program's first since 2001 and 2002, though the second ended with a 102-77 loss to Saint Louis.
Blue Cain, a 6-foot-5 senior guard, Marcus "Smurf" Millender, Kanon Catchings, and Kareem Stagg return with starting experience, while transfers Freddie Dilione and James Scott join the roster.
Georgia's roster saw significant turnover as leading shooter Jeremiah Wilkinson departed for Arkansas and starting center Somto Cyril transferred to Miami, alongside departures to Cal, George Washington, and Georgia Tech.
The Bulldogs face marquee nonconference matchups against North Carolina on November 13, Georgia Tech on November 20, and Duke at Madison Square Garden on December 8.
