Georgia basketball is coming off their first win in five tries after taking down South Carolina earlier this week. But there is no time to celebrate as the Bulldogs have a huge game on Saturday against the No. 4 team in the country. And that team is the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Can Mike White and Georgia get the job done? It's going to be difficult based solely on how talented Alabama is and how much Georgia has been struggling recently. But the Georgia team from a few weeks ago is more than capable of getting the job done. So it's just a matter of if UGA can play like they were a few weeks ago when they beat Kentucky, or if they play like they did last week when they lost to Arkansas.
