Georgia basketball is back in action on Saturday night as they welcome No. 17 Oklahoma to Athens for Georgia's third SEC game of the season. Mike White and the Bulldogs unfortunately lost their first conference game of the season on the road to Ole Miss, but they responded in the biggest way possible by knocking off No. 6 Kentucky on Tuesday 82-69.
And while that game was huge for Georgia's NCAA Tournament hopes, they have to find a way to move past this win and stay focused on the next task at hand. The Sooners will be a great test for the Bulldogs as they sit at 13-2 this season as well. However, Oklahoma is on a two game losing streak after losing their first two SEC games, so they are desperate to get a win to avoid starting 0-3 in conference play.
