It’s a battle of the Bulldogs in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament. No. 8-seed Gonzaga will take on No. 9-seed Georgia in what should be an awesome game inside the Midwest Region.

First, Gonzaga was victorious in the West Coast Conference Tournament finale in their last game. They have eight losses on the season, and they’re not their usual dominant selves entering March, but are you going to bet against Mark Few when it comes to reaching the Sweet 16? That might be a fool’s errand.

Meanwhile, Georgia is trying to prove they belong, as Mike White is rebuilding the program. They battled for every one of their 20 wins inside the SEC, and they even defeated Florida a couple of weeks ago. Will they have enough to get the job done against Gonzaga? Only time will tell, but here’s everything you need to know.
