**WICHITA, Kan.** – Georgia Bulldogs head coach Mike White faces a familiar foe in Thursday’s March Madness matchup against Gonzaga: point guard Ryan Nembhard. White, who coached Andrew Nembhard (Ryan’s brother) at Florida earlier in the latter’s college career, has known Ryan for years, praising his skills and toughness.

“I’ve been around him since he was a young player,” White said Wednesday. “Big fan of his game. Big fan of his older brother’s game, of course.”

White highlighted Ryan Nembhard’s impressive statistics – leading the NCAA in assists (9.8 average) while also averaging 10.8 points per game – and his leadership qualities. “He’s arguably the best passer in college basketball,” White stated, emphasizing Nembhard’s court vision and ability to elevate his teammates.

The matchup pits the eighth-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs, who secured the West Coast Conference title, against the ninth-seeded Georgia Bulldogs, one of a record 14 teams from the Southeastern Conference in this year’s tournament. The game promises a compelling clash of styles, with Gonzaga’s seasoned point guard facing a coach intimately familiar with his family’s basketball legacy.
