The Georgia Bulldogs enter their NCAA tournament second-round matchup against Michigan State as the underdogs.

Georgia has a veteran-laden team that has played in its share of big games this year and in the past.

They're led by senior post players Marcus Thornton and Nemanja Djurisic and junior guards Kenny Gaines and Charles Mann. They've been on trips to New York's Madison Square Garden to play Gonzaga and twice faced Kentucky and won eight road games, six of them against SEC teams.

But their history in the tournament is not a good one. Their last trip was a one-and-done against Washington in 2011.
