The Georgia Bulldogs just completed a historic run through the SEC tournament by going from worst to first in four days. I would venture to say this is one of the most memorable runs ever due to all the circumstances revolving around this Championship specifically. Georgia won three games in less than 35 hours and four games overall against Mississippi, Kentucky, Mississippi St. and Arkansas to win the SEC Championship. The reason Georgia had to win three games within 35 hours was due to an EF 2 tornado that hit downtown Atlanta (tornados very very rarely hit major downtown cities) Friday evening and suspended Georgia’s game that evening leading to two games on Saturday. The rest of the tournament also was moved to Georgia Tech’s coliseum due to the damage suffered by the Georgia Dome.
Take all these components along with the fact that head coach Dennis Felton of Georgia was on the hot seat to say the least and the Bulldogs pulled off a monumental run to win the SEC. Georgia gained a #14 seed in the West and will play #3 Xavier in the first round.
What a crazy story. I think these guys could upset Xavier in the first round of the Dance.
They will lose to Xavier, but what I think is weak is how the Georgia coach was complaining about the playing 2 games on the same day. First.. he was lucky to be there… second.. he had the smaller GTech arena and a small crowd where all the other teams crazy fans who came out to support were not allowed in the building. And 1 more thing.. this gave his team a lift and allowed them to perservere with that under .500 record. WAAAAAAAAAA!
SEC Tourny really showed how good the league was this year.
Felton did whine like a little girl scout who missed her cookie quota.
