Georgia to take part in Daytona Beach tournament
ATHENS, Ga. — The first season of the Mike White era will include Georgia taking part in the 2022 Sunshine Slam during Thanksgiving week. The Bulldogs will play in the event's "Beach Bracket" along with UAB, South Florida and Saint Joseph's on Nov. 21-22 at the Daytona Beach Ocean Center.
The tournament will feature four games on each day. Reserved seat tickets will be $50 per day and good for admission to all four games on the 21st and 22nd. Donors to the UGA Men's Basketball Fund will be able to request tickets in the Georgia block during the renewal process for the upcoming season in mid-July.
The event will also include an "Ocean Bracket" featuring Albany, Austin Peay, Bucknell and Presbyterian. Each bracket will operate as a separate tournament, with semifinals on Monday, Nov. 21 and championship/consolation games on Tuesday, Nov. 22. Each day will feature two afternoon games and two evening contests. Game times and matchups will be announced at a later date.
In addition to the games in Daytona Beach, one team from the "Ocean Bracket" will play a game against Georgia at Stegeman Coliseum during the 2022-23 season.
White, who has averaged more than 22 wins per year in 11 seasons as head coach at Florida and Louisiana Tech, was named the Bulldogs' head coach on March 13. White's teams have advanced to postseason competition during nine of 10 possible seasons and were also a consensus pick to earn a bid to the 2020 NCAA Tournament before it was canceled.

Season tickets include reserved seats for all of Georgia's non-conference games and the Bulldogs' nine home SEC dates. Season tickets cost $285 each, plus a $150 donation to the Men's Basketball Fund (MBF). Fans wishing to reserve season tickets may do so here.
