It’s been a decade since the Georgia Bulldogs last tasted the glory that is March Madness, with the SEC stalwarts looking to make it back on the right side of the bubble for the first time since 2015 in Michael White’s third season in Athens, with the school sitting at 16-10 overall and 4-9 in SEC play this season.
For now, BetGeorgia.com compiled some odds on whether UGA will make it back into the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament in 2025, with our latest batch of figures showing the Bulldogs as a heavy favorite to make the cut across Georgia sports betting, regardless of what ESPN's Joe Lunardi says.
Percentage Chance | Odds | |
Yes | 61.5% | -160 |
No | 38.5% | +160 |

Sports betting is not yet legal in Georgia, but our site is monitoring what happens in Athens and will let you know when sportsbooks like DraftKings and BetMGM GA become available.
In our opinion, the answer is a resounding yes. That’s because we are giving UGA -160 (or a 61.5% chance) of making the field of 68 come March, compared with +160 odds (or 38.5%) that the Bulldogs miss out on March Madness for a 10th straight season in 2025.
Much of that belief stems from the fact that Georgia has no shortage of opportunities to bolster their tournament résumé, with that Saturday showdown against No. 1 Auburn coming ahead of next Tuesday’s showdown with No. 2 Florida in Athens.
Win either of those games and UGA will have a huge boost to their tournament credentials, with three games against unranked foes (Texas on March 1, South Carolina on March 4 and Vanderbilt on March 8) likely doing little to help their cause after that Tuesday tilt with the Gators.
Regardless of what the future brings, we’re confident that the Bulldogs have done enough to make the field of 68 for the first time in 10 years, with UGA holding solid odds of making the cut in 2025 as SEC play reaches its fever pitch on the hardwoods of the Southeast.
