Georgia will host its first NCAA tournament game since 2003 Saturday when it faces Mercer at Stegeman Coliseum.

UGA earned the No. 4 seed in the Albany Regional and will face No. 13 seed Mercer in a 1:30 p.m. contest televised on ESPN2. A victory would push UGA into a second-round matchup against the winner of the Duke-Belmont game Monday in Athens.
