The No. 8 seed Georgia Bulldogs lost a March Madness game in embarrassing fashion for a second consecutive year

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.
