The No. 8 seed Gonzaga Bulldogs (25-8) and No. 9 seed Georgia Bulldogs (20-12) are set to battle on Thursday, with a coveted spot in the second round of the NCAA Tournament up for grabs.
Gonzaga had its ups and downs this season, dropping both regular-season matchups against Saint Mary’s. But when it mattered most, Mark Few’s squad delivered, grinding out a 58-51 victory in a defensive slugfest to capture the West Coast Conference Tournament title.
Georgia, on the other hand, endured a rollercoaster ride in the ultra-competitive SEC. The Bulldogs found themselves in a brutal 2-9 skid, struggling to close out tight games. But just when it seemed like their season was slipping away, a pivotal victory over Florida ignited a resurgence. A four-game winning streak down the stretch salvaged their tournament hopes, even though their SEC Tournament run ended abruptly with a loss to Oklahoma.
