SEC announces tip times for Bulldog basketball conference games

The Georgia Bulldogs’ game times and television network assignments for the SEC 2022-23 men’s basketball season were announced by the league office on Wednesday.

Georgia’s SEC home slate features five weeknight and four weekend outings, including a trio of Saturday matinees. Sixteen of the Bulldogs’ 18 conference contests will appear on the SEC Network. The Kentucky game in Lexington on Tuesday, Jan. 17 will air on ESPN, and the home date with the Wildcats on Saturday, Feb. 11 will be televised on ESPN or ESPN2.

Tip times and television information for non-conference games will be announced at a later date.

The Bulldogs’ first two SEC contests at Stegeman Coliseum will be consecutive Wednesday dates against Auburn and Mississippi State on Jan. 4 and Jan. 11, respectively, that will tip at 6:30 p.m. on the SEC Network.

Georgia will host Vanderbilt on Jan. 21 at 1:00 p.m. and South Carolina on Jan. 28 at 6:00 p.m. on back-to-back weekends.

The Bulldogs will enjoy a three-game homestand in early February, facing Ole Miss on Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 7:00, Kentucky on Saturday, Feb. 11 at noon and LSU on Valentine’s Day at 8:30 p.m.

The home slate concludes with consecutive games at Stegeman against Missouri on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 1:00 and Florida on Tuesday, February 28 at 7:00.

The Bulldogs will officially open practice for head coach Mike White’s first season next Monday, September. 26. White arrives in Athens after averaging more than 22 wins per season in 11 years as the head coach at Louisiana Tech (2012-15) and Florida (2015-22). Those teams earned postseason bids in each of the last nine possible seasons, and Florida was a consensus pick for the 2020 NCAA Tournament before it was cancelled.

Georgia’s 2022-23 roster features five returning letterwinners who accounted for more than 60 percent of the Bulldogs’ scoring last season and nine newcomers – six transfers and three freshmen.

Returnees Kario Oquendo and Braelen Bridges were two of the SEC’s most productive players last season. Oquendo is the top returning scoring in league play after averaging 18.3 points per game in SEC action. Bridges led the SEC and ranked No. 7 nationally in field goal percentage, connecting on 63.4 percent of his shots from the floor.

Georgia’s six transfers include five players whose previous teams reached the NCAA Tournament during the 2021 or 2022 seasons and Terry Roberts, the 2022 Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Year at Bradley.
