What channel is Georgia basketball vs Florida? Time, TV schedule for Saturday

There isn’t much time for the Georgia basketball to wallow in a punch-to-the-gut road loss at Arkansas Wednesday night.

The Bulldogs returned to Athens in the early morning hours Thursday and some 61 hours later will tip off Saturday at No. 6 Florida looking to avoid a fourth straight defeat.

Georgia (14-5, 2-4 SEC) couldn’t hold onto a 15-point second half advantage and for the third time in three SEC road games lost after not protecting a halftime lead.

“It’s something we’ll continue to address and talk about as a staff and brainstorm and discuss with our guys,” Georgia coach Mike White said. “That was the whole conversation at halftime (Wednesday). It really wasn’t much about scheme, offense, defense. It was about our approach, our mentality, early second half.”

White is 0-5 against Florida, where he previously coached. Georgia has lost 11 straight to the Gators since a 61-55 win in Gainesville on March 2, 2019.

Georgia was hammered on the defensive boards in the second half at Arkansas when it had 9 turnovers and was 0 of 5 on 3s. Dakota Leffew is shooting 36.4 % from the field in SEC play and is 5 of 24 on 3s.

The Bulldogs led Arkansas, which won its first SEC game, for 36:48 and the Razorbacks didn’t lead until 30 seconds to go in the 68-65 Georgia loss.

“We’ve got to move on,” White said. “You sit here and pout about a loss in this league, you’re not preparing yourself, you’re not giving yourself a chance in the next one.”

White said Florida also is “phenemonal” on the offensive glass.

The Gators (17-2, 4-2) lead the SEC in rebounding margin at +10.5. Georgia is fifth at +6.5. Forward Alex Condon is seventh in the SEC in rebounding at 8.2. Guard Walter Clayton is sixth in scoring at 17.8.

Florida took its first lead with 5 seconds to go in a 70-69 win at South Carolina Wednesday night.

The Gators are 9-1 at home, losing to Missouri 83-82 on Jan. 14.
