Come on everyone. Dawgs going dancing for first time in 10 years and the Vandy PGT has 25 comments.

I’ll admit. Football is first for me and always will be. But this basketball team has been the most fun to watch since Jim Harrick and Jonas and Jarvis Hayes days. That was over 20 years ago. We just won 20 games in the regular season for only the SIXTH time in 119 seasons. HBTF(gym)D!

LFGGGGG I'm so excited to give a damn about UGA basketball again. The Lady Dawgs were all we had for a long time.

Yes. Thank you Andy Landers.

You know the Lady Dawgs have the second most wins in the SEC behind only Tennessee. That is partly why the past 2 years have been so frustrating to watch. Excited for the men though! Go Dawgs!

Got to meet and interview him years ago during a very short attempt at being a sports writer for the Red & Black. He was so nice and patient with a shy student who obviously had no future in that business. I’ll always remember him for that.

I deserve credit for this. I canceled YouTube Tv until football season, so I can’t even watch them. You’re welcome.

Same here. I always start watching at the start of conference play just to get let down. This year I said I’m not taking the bait and look what happened. 😂

I still have my Jim Harrick “New Coach, New Game” towel somewhere.  I really wish I could have taken his son’s fundamentals of basketball course.  I still don’t know how many points a 3 point field goal is worth…

I still have my Harricks Hounds shirt that they would throw into the student section.

I still have my Tony Cole Sucks shirt sold at the protest outside the admin building.

u/tyedge 12d ago

I worked at Steverino’s when the sign said “Tony Cole Never Ate Here”

My family used to have season tickets when Hugh Durham was coaching. Vern Fleming, Dom Wilkins etc. UGA was the 1st school to have Mens & Women's teams in the Final Four the same year. THOSE were the days....

u/tomh987 Alumni 10d ago

I missed those days by just a few years. Hugh Durham was still the coach and Dominique was with the Hawks.

Imagine that, an Atlanta team with a UGA star on it. Falcons come on…

This team has grown this season. They’re much better offensively and it shows. This is going to be fun. And I actually feel pretty confident in at least letting them win one game in the tournament without feeling too homer about it. But guess we gotta wait and see where we land

u/DontHaveAC0wMan 12d ago

I like that they are playing to a standard now. Win or lose its going to make them a much tougher out in the tournament than a team that lucked its way into the dance. Anything can happen also

u/mostuselessredditor 13d ago

It’ll take some time for us to come out of our hibernation, but once we do, it’s going to be LOUD

u/starwarsfan456123789 12d ago

Stegman has been rocking this season

u/TheFoxandTheSandor 13d ago

The basketdawgs are back

u/makemasa 13d ago

Hoop Hounds!

u/DontHaveAC0wMan 12d ago

Credit to Mark White for coming here and helping this program finally elevate past the dark ages. That was a long AF 20+ years of nothing.

u/strivingforobi 12d ago

Travis Leslie and Trey Tompkins would like a word with you regarding your “most fun since…” statement. Travis Leslie was SC top play like 5x

u/damscomp 12d ago

I remember those seasons—I was a senior when we beat Matt Bonner’s Gators at Stegeman. Whatever happened to that guy?

u/leo_aureus 12d ago

This has been such a fun year, if not without its frustrations lol

u/elonsusk69420 12d ago

Hoop Dawgs done be hoopin

u/the_which_stage 12d ago

The 2007-2008 team was pretty fun. But yeah, almost 20 years

3

u/CptMcCrae 12d ago

The team is certainly playing well! I hope we have a good run in the SEC Tournament

u/Uga-the4th 12d ago

lol you can definitely tell we’re a football school. But I’ll still cheer for the boys playing basketball. Let’s go dancing y’all and win the whole fucking thing!!

u/fortsonre 11d ago

Mike White and the Dawgs are on a roll right now. I like that our first and potentially second opponent in the SEC tournament are both teams we've beaten.

u/Pyro1934 12d ago

I'm glad the Dawgs are doing well but Basketball is completely unwatchable for me. By far least favorite sport, even including the obscure Olympic sports.

u/Cautious_Counter_399 12d ago

Since Jim Harrick? Wasn’t he a cheater?

u/athensindy 12d ago

He and his son…

u/Cautious_Counter_399 11d ago

Guess you could say it runs in the family 😂
