After tossing Tom Crean onto the scrap heap and reaching for Florida’s retread, Mike White, Georgia understood the turnaround might not be immediate. So when the Bulldogs raced to an 11-3 start, which included a win over Auburn to kick off conference play, many in the fanbase began to think it was possible White was a magician.
White is not a magician. Even after hitting the 3-1 mark in his first 4 conference games, the reality of the Bulldogs as a fringe top 100 KenPom team began to settle in after trips to Kentucky and Tennessee. Georgia would go from 3-1 to finish 6-12 and limped out of the SEC Tournament with an ugly loss to last-place LSU.
