Georgia has never faced Maryland Eastern Shore on the hardcourt. Bulldogs head coach Mike White recorded a victory over the Hawks, 73-54, when he was the head coach of Louisiana Tech back in 2011.

Maryland Eastern Shore is a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) in Division I. The Hawks finished the 2024-25 season 6-25 overall and 2-12 in conference play.

In other home non-conference action this fall, Georgia will host the Morehead State Eagles on Nov. 9, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Friday, Nov. 14, Western Carolina Catamounts on Dec. 18, and West Georgia Wolves on Dec. 22.

Additionally, the Bulldogs will play in the 2025 Charleston Classic along with Clemson, West Virginia, and Xavier.

The 2025-26 season will be the fourth for Georgia under head coach Mike White. The Bulldogs finished the 2024-25 season 20-13 overall (8-10 SEC) and played in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2015.
