From worst to first

Georgia was in a position no basketball team should ever want to be in during the regular season: a 4-12 record in the SEC, enough to put them in the conference cellar.

Once SEC tourney play began, however, the Bulldogs were a whole other animal. In what could be considered one of the most amazing routes to get into the NCAA Big Dance, Georgia made a run from worst to first in just a few days' time when they won the SEC Tournament championship Sunday afternoon & with that a trip into postseason play. Not bad for a team with a 17-16 record, eh?

But the Bulldogs believed when most other folks doubted; the Bulldogs kept their spirits up when the chips were down. And most of all, the Bulldogs had the confidence to do what others thought was highly impossible. Which goes to show you that miracles do happen & they still do by the way.

Now that they're in postseason play, can Georgia build from their late season burst & with that a shift in momentum? Anything can happen; believe me, we've seen some of the best & the mightiest teams go down at the hands of the underdog plenty of times to know that nothing is guaranteed in NCAA bracket action. Then again, the Bulldogs know the routine of life in a tough conference, the dues they paid just to win the SEC tourney, & hopefully they know what it takes to win the big games because from here on out nothing ever will come easy.

From worst to first in a week's worth of time: consider that one of college basketball's brightest moments ever when you think of what the Bulldogs did last weekend.
