Lady Dogs notch win at home

Andy Landers only needed to tell his team one thing at halftime of Wednesday’s 70-53 win over Southern Mississippi. “Quit jacking 3’s after one pass,” Landers told his team. His team listened as the Lady Dogs only attempted four 3-pointers in the second half, compared to 15 in the first, a period in which they [...]

Walking alone at night can be dangerous

It came from the darkness. A swift elbow struck my right temple. I staggered where I stood, dazed. His hand grabbed my collar, keeping me upright. His other hand rammed a pistol into my gut. “Gimme your wallet, mutha-f—–.” I closed my eyes for an instant, a failed attempt to calm my nerves and my [...]

Bulldogs prove to be ‘resilient’ against Buffs; Dogs better at closing out wins

If the first two games of this basketball season have taught us anything about Georgia basketball it’s this: The players are a resilient bunch. Through the first six minutes of its 83-74 victory Tuesday night, Georgia appeared poised to run Colorado out of Stegeman Coliseum and all the way back to Boulder, Colo. The Bulldogs [...]

Senior steps up in star’s absence

Mark Fox wasn’t happy with his team’s effort for the first 35 minutes of Friday’s win over Mississippi Valley State.

Landers approves of Stegeman upgrade

HOOVER, Ala. — When Andy Landers started at Georgia in 1979, the Stegeman Coliseum looked nothing like it did today. Where the student section is, there once stood a hydraulic stage with velvet curtains. There were no seats on the concrete floor and the building was “snow white.” The Coliseum obtained the gray and red [...]

Junior to fill leader’s role

HOOVER, Ala. — When Georgia Lady Dog Meredith Mitchell stepped onto the tarmac in Birmingham, Ala., for the SEC basketball Media Day, there stood two uniformed Jefferson County (Ala.) police officers. Mitchell, however, was anything but in trouble, as she went to the officers and game them each big hugs. They were, after all, her [...]

MEDIA DAYS: Florida junior recovers from kidney troubles to leading role

HOOVER, Ala. — When Azania Stewart was a child in England, she didn’t know what basketball was. She had heard of — and starred — in netball, a 7-on-7 game in which a net is attached to a 10-foot pole but has no backboard. And oh yeah, players can only move without the ball as long [...]

LIVE BLOG: SEC Basketball Media Days

HOOVER, Ala. — Greetings from SEC Media Days at the ever beautiful Wynfrey Hotel here in Hoover, Ala., and one thing has been made abundantly clear: Football is, and will always be King here in SEC country. Mitch Blomert and I made the wonderful 4-four trek from Athens this morning — leaving so early that [...]

Team still struggles to finish: Late fumble ensures fourth loss

BOULDER, Colo. — The return of A.J. Green to the lineup was supposed to be the cure-all to Georgia’s offensive inadequacies this season. With arguably the top receiver in the country back in the fold, Georgia’s passing attack could be far more aggressive. Teams would be forced to pay more attention to Green, loosening the [...]
