After a week of speculation and slew of different scenarios, the Georgia Bulldogs basketball team was selected for this year’s NCAA tournament field.
The Dawgs are a 10-seed in the East Regional, taking on the 7-seed Washington Huskies.
For Georgia fans, this CBS Selection Show couldn’t have gone any better – the Dawgs get a 10-seed and they got their name called almost before the program began. Not to mention that they will play their first-round game in Charlotte, North Carolina, a mere 240-something miles from Atlanta.
Congratulations to Coach Mark Fox and this Georgia Bulldog team. Making the tournament is a great accomplishment, and this team is doing what needs to be done to turn this basketball program around.
Now I just have to labor through the first half of this week before I hit the road to Charlotte!

Does anyone know about ticket info (either regular or student tickets)?

You can get them at ticketmaster here – http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0E0044A3867E5130?artistid=1239566&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=7.
However, this is for all sessions. Similarly to the SEC tournament, I think it will be easier to buy individual sessions up in Charlotte outside the gym (or at least I hope so, cause that’s my plan)

I got my tickets from the UGA Athletic Dept. These tickets are only for sessions in which UGA plays. With UNC in our session, I doubt many tickets will be available for a reasonable price.
Student tickets are available on Monday at the Ticket Office, 706 542-1231. The Athletic Dept. is advising other folks wanting tickets to contact Ticketmaster in Charlotte at the link provided by hoopdawg.
I am going on Friday but will be unable to use my tickets for Sunday (should we win). Let me know if you are interested in Sunday-only tickets.

I like that Washington has to travel all the way to Charlotte for a showdown with the Dawgs.
Sorry I can’t join you Hoopdawg, I took too much time off work last week for the SEC tourney. Represent the Bulldawg Nation for those of us unable to make it!
