GREENSBORO, N.C. –Maybe Georgia had something to prove to Missouri. After all, when Tiger star Kareem Rush was asked at a press conference Wednesday what he knew about the Bulldogs — the team he’d face the very next day — he said, ‘I don’t know much about them … I’ll go out with a blank [...]

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Georgia’s in a familiar position. And to tell you the truth, that’s the role the Bulldogs want to play. It’s where they say they’ll thrive. As it’s been for much of the year, the team is considered an underdog heading into tonight’s nationally televised matchup with ninth-seeded Missouri in the Greensboro [...]

The reaction to Georgia’s selection as an eighth seed in the NCAA tournament brought out a sense of joy in the Bulldog locker room. In much of the country, however, the reaction was that of disbelief and, at times, anger. "The worst snub by the committee was leaving out the Richmond Spiders," wrote Greg from [...]

Thursday night, minutes after his team had lost a 63-62 heartbreaker to LSU in the first round of the SEC tournament, Georgia coach Jim Harrick said he wasn’t going to plead his case for the NCAA tournament selection committee. But then he went and did it anyway. ‘I don’t really understand why we wouldn’t (get [...]

Georgia has played Tennessee twice, thrown the ball around with Florida two times, taken on Ole Miss in Oxford and faced Alabama in Tuscaloosa. But when the Bulldogs travel to Arkansas Saturday at 2 p.m., it will be the most important game of the season. Why? Simply because both teams are fighting for at-large [...]

Fighting for its life and a spot in the NCAA tournament, Georgia needed an impressive win Wednesday night. And coming off a potential bubble-burster last Saturday against South Carolina, the team also needed a late-season boost of energy before going to Nashville, Tenn., next week for the SEC tournament. Against Mississippi State, Georgia got [...]

If this were a fantasy and Adrian Jones had his own television show, it’d be called, "Everyone Loves AJ." His teammates say they love him because he’s their leader, their father figure and the guy who makes them laugh and laugh. "Adrian brings everything to the team — ballhandling, defense, rebounding and scoring," freshman [...]
Gym Dogs need to remain focused

On paper, it’s their weakest event. But Friday night, the Gym Dogs showed their balance beam lineup is no longer a liability. Instead, the season-high 49.4 posted by Talya Vexler, Marline Stephens, Cassie Bair, Cory Fritzinger and Kristi Lichey against Auburn fit in rather nicely with Georgia’s final score of 197.7. "It’s awesome," said [...]
Dogs flounder against S.C.

Georgia certainly picked a bad time to play its worst game of the year. And because it committed eight turnovers in the first eight minutes of play, because Ezra Williams was the only Georgia player to reach double-digits (16 points) and because Jamel Bradley hit another important 3-pointer against the Bulldogs as time wound [...]
Men to face S. Carolina with spirit

Wednesday night, Georgia’s spirit returned. The kind that the Bulldogs had lacked during their four-game skid. The kind that they relied on during their six-game conference winning streak earlier this season. The kind they need in order to make a run in the postseason. "We got back to the point where we were real [...]
