Georgia is part of a March Madness state that no Dawg fan will want to see

10 SEC teams qualified for the NCAA Tournament. While eight of them are still dancing, the Georgia Bulldogs are sadly not among them. Although they were later joined by the Missouri Tigers after their brutal loss to Miami in their backyard of St. Louis, it was Saint Louis that totally embarrassed Mike White's team. As for the rest of the SEC, it comprises a quarter of the remaining teams left in the field.

So leave it up to ESPN's Sam Block to make Georgia fans feel even worse about their tournament fate.

With Georgia and Missouri having been eliminated from the NCAA Tournament, here is who all is left:

• No. 1 Florida Gators
• No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide
• No. 4 Arkansas Razorbacks
• No. 5 Vanderbilt Commodores
• No. 6 Tennessee Volunteers
• No. 7 Kentucky Wildcats
• No. 10 Texas A&M Aggies
• No. 11 Texas Longhorns

Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, and Tennessee all won their first-round games as favorites rather comfortably. Kentucky needed overtime to get past No. 10 Santa Clara in its first-round game. Texas A&M took advantage of No. 7 Saint Mary's being down its best player due to illness. Texas has gone on a bit of a run, having beat NC State in the First Four and then upsetting No. 6 BYU Thursday.

Misery loves company, as the only company Georgia is able to keep right now in the SEC is Missouri.

Georgia can only blame itself for not taking care of business in round one

Even though there is a halfway decent chance that Georgia grows from this into next season, Dawg Nation cannot like what came out of star players like Marcus Millender and Jeremiah Wilkinson's mouths. They were of the belief that Georgia did not come ready to play. That falls directly onto White. He has to adjust his coaching style next season with this cast of characters if UGA wants to advance.

What the early stages of the NCAA Tournament have told us about the SEC is that the league did deserve to send 10 teams into the field of 68. Even with Missouri playing awfully vs. Miami in the second half and Georgia playing terribly throughout vs. Buffalo, everybody else in the league more than held their own. Look for a handful of these eight remaining SEC teams to reach the Sweet 16.

Overall, how the brief NCAA Tournament run ended for Georgia should serve as an inflection point or White's tenure. He has gotten the program back to being highly competitive, yet for whatever reason, they always save their worst for when it really counts. Rather than playing with a breakneck pace next season, we can only hope that Georgia slows it down a bit, breathes, and finally tries to advance soon.

For now, Georgia has to accept what the fan base had to endure on Thursday night is not acceptable.
