Georgia Basketball announces SEC opponents for 2022-23 season
Georgia’s 2022-23 basketball schedule is starting to take shape with the SEC’s announcement on Wednesday of each team’s conference schedule. At this time, opponents are announced but dates are still to be set.
The Bulldogs will take on their traditional rivals Auburn, Florida and South Carolina twice each during the season plus have home and homes with Kentucky and Ole Miss. It will the Wildcats first trip to Stegeman Coliseum since Georgia beat Kentucky in 2020, their first win over the Big Blue since 2013.
Furthermore, Georgia will play host to LSU, Mississippi State, Missouri and Vanderbilt while traveling to Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas A&M.
Georgia will be led by head coach Mike White in his first year with the program. White comes to Athens after spending the last seven years with Florida, making that rivalry game even a little bit more tense this season.
During his time with the Gators, White led Florida to four consecutive NCAA Tournaments from 2017 to 2021. The Gators also made the postseason in the other two seasons. Dating back to his time at Louisiana Tech, White’s teams have made nine straight appearances in the postseason.
