Georgia will Win the NCAA Tournament - Reasons Why By Andrew Connell

SEC

The Bulldogs were members of the Southeastern Conference this past season, which is widely considered the best in Division I. Playing such a difficult conference schedule has Georgia battle-tested and ready to matchup against anyone in March Madness.

Defense

Defense was the calling card for this team, as they held opponents to 40.9 % shooting from the field, good for fourth best in the SEC and 38th in the country. Giving up only 69.3 points per game is even more impressive when you consider the quality of their opponents throughout the season.

Asa Newell 

The five-star freshman was the leading scorer for the Bulldogs this past season, averaging 15.3 points per game on 54.1 % from the field. Newell added 6.8 rebounds per game on the way to the SEC All-Freshman team. Georgia will go as far as Newell can take them.

Choir Boys

The Georgia Men's Basketball team has avoided off the court scandals in recent seasons, which is more than the football team can say.
