Georgia fans might miss out on biggest game of the season

Georgia basketball arguably has their biggest game of the season on Saturday. The only problem is that fans may not be able to watch.

The game will be aired on SEC Network, so fans will have no issue watching the game at home. But Georgia and the state government are urging fans to think twice about driving to Athens on Saturday to watch this game in person.

Georgia could see smaller crowd on Saturday vs Texas A&M

After a fast start to the season Georgia has found themselves in some rocky waters. The Bulldogs have dropped two games in a row to teams they were good enough to beat, and that has sent them to 4-4 in conference play and 16-5 overall.

That may still seem like a decent record, but for Georgia it is not where they thought they would be. Georgia thought they would have a chance to at least contend for an SEC title this season, but that has slowly slipped out of reach. Now the only thing that matters is clinching their spot in the NCAA Tournament, and that is starting to be a problem for them.

If the season ended today Georgia would likely still make the tournament field, but that could change in a hurry. One more loss could have them on the outside looking in, and unfortunately Georgia's next opponent is the No. 1 team in the SEC.

Texas A&M come to town on Saturday for a 1:00 pm start and they are the only one loss team remaining in the SEC. That shows how difficult it will be to win this game, but to make it even more challenging Georgia and the state government are asking fans to think twice about attending in person because of the terrible weather hitting Georgia.

Will that actually stop fans from attending? It probably will to some extent, but it will be very interesting to see how many fans still show up on Saturday.

Georgia will take on the Aggies at 1:00 pm EST on Saturday with UGA currently favored by 3.5 points.
