What It All Means

No, Georgia isn't a tournament team right now.  That they're a free throw and two officiating mistakes away from an 8 or 9 seed wouldn't sway the committee one bit.

10 more wins.  Can Georgia find 10 more wins?  I still don't know.  This Saturday sets up as a huge game.

Pop quiz: when is the last time Georgia beat a ranked opponent?

Answer: On 1/8/2014, Georgia beat #21 Missouri 70-64.  Before that it was #12 Florida on 2/25/2012.

Georgia is just 3-18 against ranked opponents in the last four and a half seasons.  That's not good enough.  Mark Fox has raised the floor for the program.  The Bulldogs generally beat the teams they're supposed to beat.  Now it's time to spring some upsets.

Is Georgia good enough to win on Saturday?  Absolutely.  They'll be at home in front of a big crowd, and the Aggies are good but not invincible.  Will they?  The answer will go a long way towards determining the postseason fate of this team...
