The Georgia Bulldogs are not known for having the best basketball program in the SEC, but the Dawgs were part of the best conference in men’s basketball during the 2024-2025 season when a record-breaking 14 (of 16) SEC teams made March Madness. The Florida Gators ended up as the national champions to cap the SEC’s elite season. That means 87.5% of SEC basketball fan bases had a team that made the 2024-2025 NCAA Tournament.
The Georgia Bulldogs were one of those teams to make March Madness. They went 20-13 in the 2024-25 season, good enough to earn a No. 9 seed in March Madness. The Bulldogs can welcome up to 10,253 fans in Stegeman Coliseum and in 2024-2025 those fans were treated to a Georgia team that reached new heights not seen in years.
Stegeman Coliseum ranks just 13th in maximum seat capacity among all SEC basketball stadiums. Despite that, Georgia was still able to beat Kentucky and Florida in Stegeman Coliseum in 2024-2025, showing that UGA still has a strong home-court advantage.
