ATHENS, Ga. — The Georgia Bulldogs are going dancing for the first time in over a decade after their selection as a No. 9 seed in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. The Bulldogs, (20-12), will face No. 8 seed Gonzaga Bulldogs (25-8), a perennial college basketball power, in the Midwest region.

The Midwest Region of the NCAA men's tournament is led by Houston. Can anyone knock off the Cougars and what sleepers might emerge?

Any disappointment Gonzaga might have felt with their seeding matching their NET ranking – No. 8 in both cases – was quickly dismissed with appreciation to be dancing again and the reality of the challenges ahead.
