GEORGIA

Another huge week for Georgia athletics and probaly the biggest week for the Georgia basketball program in 5 years. The scenarios seem to be endless for Georgia. However, its real easy if Georgia loses both this week; they have to win the conference tounament to get a ticket. If Georgia wins both, they're in. If Georgia splits, a lot is left up in the air with at least a win in Atlanta probaly needed. Georgia can do as well as a 2 seed in the east if they win both games, and as bad as a 5 seed if they lose both. Vandy will most likely lock up the 2 seed with a win @ USC. Therefore, we need Florida to play well. If Georgia splits this week and Florida wins @ Tennessee and vs. Kentucky, Georgia would get the 3 seed in the east. If Tenessee loses both this week and Kentucky wins both of their games this week, we get the 4 seed and Tennessee gets the 5. If we beat Kentucky but lose to Tenessee, we would still be the 4 and Kentucky would be the 5. Simply put, it would only help our resume to finish ahead of Kentucky and Tennessee in the standings. But a 4 seed in the east would present the best bracket layout for Georgia. Either way Georgia has to win at least one this week and hope for some success in the Dome.

-The Baseball team plays host to a very good Winthrop team on Tuesday and arguably the most storied program in college baseball history iwith Southern California this weekend. Georgia needs a 3-1 week to get above .500. The pithing has been better than expected and the hitting has been about what most expected. Even though Georgia stands at 3-4, they are just a couple of pitches away from being 5-2. Freshmen CF Cerione, and Freshmen pitchers McCree and Earls have shown signs of brilliance.

-Tennis team won the National Indoors last week. Tuesday they match up against Tulsa, but more importantly #3 Nationally ranked John Isner takes on the #2 nationally ranked player. Sunday is the biggest home match of the year against LSU.

-Ashley Houts was again named SEC Freshman of the week and Christie Marshall continues to excell. The Lady Dawgs finished 2nd in the conference and if they make it to the SEC final they will most likely receive a 2 seed in the NCAA tournament.

-Softball team was miserable in Columbus. Heads to Hawaii this week and will probaly pass over Doucette on the flight. Larry has requested that any questions about the team be directed to him.
