The remainder of Georgia’s basketball schedule for the upcoming season has been announced.

The Bulldogs are coming off of a 10-8 campaign in conference, which earned them a spot in the NIT. Now with senior J.J. Frazier and Yante Maten leading the team, they’ll look to improve upon that and clinch their first NCAA Tournament berth since 2014.

The non-conference schedule was previously announced, which was highlighted by home games against Marquette and Texas. The Southeastern Conference released their schedule of games within conference, completing the slate for Georgia in 2016-2017.

The SEC schedule is highlighted by a game at home against Kentucky on February 18. The Bulldogs open the season on December 29 at Auburn, and open the conference slate at home against South Carolina on January 4 at Stegeman Coliseum.
