The current betting odds have Georgia listed as a 6.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Georgia has looked good in their games this season with their 20-12 record overall, but their 8-10 conference record had them in the bottom half of the SEC. They are 2-2 in their neutral site games this season, but they did play in one of the toughest conferences in the nation. Meanwhile, Gonzaga has looked good in their games this season with their 25-8 record overall and their 14-4 conference record which had them right near the top of the WCC. They weren't that great in their neutral site games though, going 5-4 in those. Gonzaga has been really hot lately and won the WCC Tournament, but they weren't the best team in their own conference during the regular season. They also played in a much weaker conference than Georgia did. Both teams are 4-1 in their last 5 games and were really hot to end the season so even though Gonzaga is coming off a win in their conference tournament, Georgia has been playing well lately and has some momentum on their side as making the tournament is a big deal for them. As good as Gonzaga has been lately, they did struggle with the better team in their conference this season and they were playing closer games in the WCC Tournament. Georgia will be able to keep this game within reach with the talent that they have. The best way to place a bet here is on Gonzaga to cover the spread in this game.

"Great accomplishment for our program and this team. Georgia's dancing so it's a great day. We've got hoops ahead of us, great day for the SEC, historic day for our league.” - Mike White on his team making the NCAA Tournament.

"We got a really tough opponent, when you're in that 8-9 game you know you're gonna have that. And just the interesting ties that happened just because of the life of basketball. We recruited [Georgia freshman] Asa Newell really, really hard. Just a great player, great family. Mike White's done a really, really good job. I thought he did a great job at Florida, and Georgia, to be able to scoop him up in their program, that's quite a coup. I know we'll have our work cut out for us. They've got some really, really nice wins, I mean — gosh they beat St. John's, I think they beat a couple of No. 1, No. 2 [seeds]; they beat Florida, they've beaten Auburn so, that's quite a resume." - Mark Few on his team playing UGA in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
