Georgia basketball will need to win and almost certainly need to keep winning for its season to extend beyond the SEC tournament.

The Bulldogs' matchup for their opening game in the event Wednesday through Sunday in Bridgestone Arena in Nashville is now set.

Georgia (16-15, 6-12 SEC) is the No. 11 seed and will play No. 14 seed Missouri (8-23, 0-18) Wednesday at approximately 9:30 p.m. ET on the SEC Network. It's also available to stream via the ESPN app and FUBO, which offers a free trial to potential subscribers.

Georgia and Missouri played just once this season in the first SEC game for both teams. Georgia won 75-68 in Columbia on Jan. 6.

The Bulldogs' seeding was finalized after a 92-78 road loss to No. 14 ranked Auburn on Saturday night.

If Georgia wins, it will play No. 6 seed Florida (21-10, 11-7) on Thursday at approximately 9:30 p.m.  ET on the SEC Network.

Alabama’s 92-88 overtime win over Arkansas on Saturday ensured Georgia would not be lower than the No. 11 seed because Georgia won a tiebreaker over the Razorbacks by virtue of defeating South Carolina.
