The Georgia Bulldogs’ 2018-19 basketball tip times and TV networks have been set, the school announced on Wednesday.

The Georgia Bulldogs open the 2018-19 regular-season on Friday, Nov. 9 against Savannah State at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens. The game will tip off at 8:30pm ET on SECN+.

“With record donations to the BEF and the momentum we’ve seen in season ticket sales, obviously the people of the Bulldawg Nation are sharing in our excitement for the future of this program,” head coach Tom Crean said. “Having our game times is another sign that the season is approaching, and it’s approaching quickly. I can not wait for us to get the Steg rocking.”

Georgia opens SEC play at Tennessee on Saturday, Jan. 5, 2019. The game will be televised by the SEC Network at 3:30pm ET.
