Georgia basketball season ends with its most lopsided NCAA Tournament loss
Georgia basketball suffered an ugly loss to Saint Louis Thursday night to end its season in the NCAA Tournament first round.
BUFFALO, New York — Even with its best seed in its last five trips to March Madness, Georgia basketball left no doubt that it would be going home again without moving on in the bracket. The Bulldogs saved their worst for last in a debacle of a game. No.
9 seed Saint Louis ended the No. 8 seed Bulldogs season with a 102-77 beatdown Thursday night, March 19, in a Men’s NCAA Tournament first round game in KeyBank Center. Georgia (22-11) last won an NCAA Tournament game in 2002.
The Billikens knocked out Georgia just like Gonzaga did in 2025, Michigan State in 2015, Washington in 2011 and Xavier in 2008. This one was the most lopsided defeat in the NCAA Tournament in Georgia history. The Bulldogs went on a 17-2 run to end the game to make the final score closer.
Saint Louis (29-5) will play No. 1 seed Michigan (32-3) in a round of 32 game Saturday. The Billikens shot 21-of-38 in the first half, getting 15 assists against a Georgia defense that was a step slow or left shooters too open.
