Seeing Red? Hopefully Tubby and Big Baby Will.

After one of the the most heartbreaking losses in at least a decade, the Georgia basketball team still has a chance to be special. The dawgs have shown they can play with the big boys but have yet to record a signature win against a currently ranked team. Georgia is around the 5o mark in the RPI rankings and are going to need at least two impressive road wins along the way to really boost their resume. But what makes this week special is the fact that its late January and Georgia will be playing a meaningful game at Stegeman. ESPN listed 15 games to watch this week, both of Georgia's games are on the list. Idealy it would be nice for the dawgs to win both. But a split is the least we can have. I'm not going to say the dawgs are done if they get swept but it will sure make it hard for Georgia to get back in the NCAA tournament picture. The Western Kentucky game was a very bad loss but losing to the #1 and #2 teams in the country is nothing to be ashamed of. Losing at Clemson and at Tech is certainly not going to help but it doesn't hurt a whole lot. If Georgia can go 10-6 in maybe the toughest conference in the country they are defiantly in. 9-7 would put them on the bubble and make the SEC tournament extremely crucial. I don't see a "Georgia" getting in with an 8-8 conference record. The season is far from over but this week will go a long way in defining this season and hopefully make everyone forget about the Bama loss. There is no reason for the Coliseum not to be sold out for both games. Either way its nice to be excited about Georgia basketball and more important the dawgs are actually relevant to the basketball world.
