Georgia basketball is drawing a crowd; big game vs. Gators on Tuesday
Drawing its biggest basketball crowds in eight years, Georgia expects a fourth consecutive sellout at Stegeman Coliseum for Tuesday night’s game against Florida.
And just as the fans have responded to the team’s improved play, the team has taken note of the fans’ increased interest.
“When we look up in the stands, it’s a very packed crowd and we see a lot of red and black,” senior forward Chris Barnes said. “It’s not like previous years, when we look up and we see other teams have got more fans than us.”
The fans have “definitely been giving us that extra edge, giving us extra energy that we need,” guard Dustin Ware said. “That’s a big part of college basketball, and it’s something we’ve been taking advantage of here lately.”
The Stegeman crowd might be even more charged Tuesday night, when Georgia (9-1 at home, 14-4 overall, 3-2 in the SEC) will be playing on ESPN for a share of first place in the SEC East against the rival Gators. Florida (15-4 overall, 4-1 SEC) enters the game with a one-game lead in the division over three teams tied for second place: Georgia, Kentucky and South Carolina.
As of Monday afternoon, Georgia had sold out of 3,200 general-admission student tickets for the game and had about 500 reserved-seat tickets remaining, according to director of marketing John Bateman, who expressed confidence of a sellout by game time. Georgia sold out the 10,523-seat coliseum for the Jan. 8 game against Kentucky and last week’s games against Tennessee and Mississippi State.
Already, Bateman said, Georgia has its longest streak of sellouts since 2002-03, when the Bulldogs sold out their final nine home games in Jim Harrick’s last season as coach.
“One of the things I felt like was important was that we reestablish the atmosphere in the building and create some sort of home-court advantage,” coach Mark Fox said Monday. “Now, when our team plays here, when recruits come here, when fans come here, they get to participate in really the experience that college basketball is all about.”
Georgia had two sellouts last season -– its most in any season since 2002-03, Bateman said –- and two other games in which all reserved seats (but not all student seats) were sold. Student attendance has increased this season, which Georgia attributes partly to a decision to sell student tickets on a single-game, rather than season-ticket, basis and partly to efforts by Fox and others to reach out to campus groups.
The $12-million Stegeman Coliseum renovation, which expanded the concourse and added a dramatic glass facade, also might have drawn the interest of some fans. But the on-court improvement is undoubtedly the big draw.
“Anytime you are winning and competitive in this league,” Florida coach Billy Donovan said, “people are going to show up and watch you play.”
Etc.
Donovan said before the season that Georgia could be the team to beat in the SEC, and he remains bullish on the Bulldogs. “I think they have the ingredients and makings now of being a special and great team,” he said Monday, “because they have answers at about every spot.” . . . Donovan said transfer Gerald Robinson has been an invaluable addition to a lineup that returned starters Trey Thompkins, Travis Leslie and Ware. “I would liken [Robinson's impact] to when Jim Harrick was there and they got Jarvis Hayes as a transfer,” Donovan said. “That is what Robinson has done for their team.” . . . In its past two games, Florida held Auburn and Arkansas to 40 and 43 points, respectively. . . . Georgia has lost 12 of its past 14 games against Florida, but has beaten the Gators in Athens by two points in each of the past two seasons. . . . Florida is 4-0 in true road games this season, posting wins at Tennessee, Auburn, Florida State and Xavier. . . . The Gators are ranked No. 23 in this week’s coaches’ poll and No. 24 in the media poll. Georgia received votes in both polls but not enough to be ranked.

Wonderful. It is about time Georgia grads decided to support basketball. UGA has a great coach who will build a great program, if Stegeman is full of fans and Georgia is a basketball program that matters.
Good luck dogs.
I am a GT fan and we have the exact opposite program. The GT program is heading down and the UGA program is headed up.

Just like in football, UGA is unranked. 89 votes in the latest AP but outside thetop 25.
Ohio State is # 1.
And to remind you “dwag” naysyers, all 5 juniors involved in the tatoo/memorabilia deal ARE coming back. None, repeat, none, entered the draft.
Still a Howard “Trey” Thompkins fan, Watched countless of his high school games going back to his freshman days.
I’d love to see him and our freshman stud Jared Sullinger go after it!

It’s great to be excited about Georgia basketball again. Harrick was a great coach, but apparently felt he had to cheat to win. I feel a lot better pulling for a coach like Fox, who wins by out working everyone else.

UGA is playing great right now, and the fans are making it tougher than ever to win at Stegman. I had to double what I usually pay the refs to get the no-call on the shot clock violation….and not call my mutant center for over the back on that last play.

That will be a really tough game to win. It will be at Tennessee and Bruce Pearl won’t be suspended anymore. The next two games will shape the rest of the season for UGA. They really need to beat Florida and Kentucky(again) to vault themselves up another level. Kentucky is coming off a bad loss to Alabama and a mediocre game against South Carolina. It’s as good a time as any to possibly get a win at Rupp Arena.

Don’t mean to be argumentative, but his former school was Tennessee State. UGA site says:
Offensively skilled transfer from Tennessee State University… Sat out the 2010 season in compliance with NCAA rules regarding transfers.

Coach Fox and the team have done a tremendous job. It is painful (and thankfully hard) to look back on the past ten years and some of the bone-headed things our coaching has done to take UGA down. Now, however, we are on the rise, and it is going to be a great future. I, for one, am excited to drive from North-metro to go see them play. It is a blast and really a great experience for the family. Go Dawgs!

I thinks the B-Ball Dogs are fantastic and even though they play in one of the toughest divisions in college basketball I think that they will get better and better and make the Big Dance this year. I love to see Marcus Thornton get better each game. By the end of the season he’s going to be big off the bench and going to be a monster next year as a sophomore when Thompkins/Leslie/Price and Barnes are all gone.

Exciting things going on with the Bulldogs B-ball team. However, until they prove they can stay focused and take things seriously game after game I am going to go ahead and chalk this next game up as a loss against the Gators. I see an NIT bid this year, with possible NCAA bid if we end the season 7-9 or 8-8 in conference but win a couple of games in SEC Tourney. Hope the Dawgs prove me wrong!

I appreciate all the feedback. For the record, I have lived in ATL fo 25 years and pay Georgia taxes ( thereby financially supporting UGA but not by choice).
I post to support the Buckeyes just as y’all post to support the SEC, Bama, “dawgs”, “nerds”, etc.
I post to lay claim that Ohio State is a top 5 program – football and basketball – and UGA is not.
As a fan, I am glad the 5 played in the Sugar Bowl. We won. You lost the Liberty Bowl as I recall.
As a father, I support the kids even though they made a dumb mistake as most 19-20 year olds do.
As an adult, I do not blame the kids. They had no role in the decision to play/not play.
I support Tressel. He asked for their commitment, they gave their word and have lived up to their word – NONE declared for the NFL draft.
I am a fan of UGA basketball soley due to the fact that I’ve watched and rooted for Howard ( yes, that’s his pre-tatted up name) Thompkins since he was a freshman in high school. It’s been fun to watch a kid with that much god-given talent grow up, stay on the straight and narrow, and be a credit to his school – unlike his compadres Ealey (the spitter) and King (the non achiever).
I would love to see an Ohio State/UGA match up with Jared Sullinger v. Thompkins.
And, the fact remains, we were 12-1, won the Sugar Bowl and you were 6-7 and lost the Liberty Bowl.
And, the fact remains, for now anyway that Ohio State sits atop college basketball.
Funny, UGA/FL at 7PM ESPN is kinda like the JV game before the big boys play at 9PM.
Enjoy and good luck. I hate FL too.

Hey Buckeye you guys have made one huge mistake. You seem to be up near the top yearly until you play a SEC team and should have lost to a five seed Ark this year. Any way now that Nebraska is in the Big ten or what ever you want to call it they will replace you from being up there so often from being in a weak conf. The only thing I dont like about Ohio State other than the obvious is you are always over rated. Even the Refs. give you the last so called NC over Miami.

Tim:
As a 60 year old UGA graduate and sports fan, I never, ever thought this would be a legitimate question: Which has the better coaches, UGA basketball or UGA football?
Of course it is impossible to actually compare coaching, but I think UGA has a better basketball staff based on three criteria.
1. UGA basketball will most likely play in the NCAA tournanment this year. UGA football lost more games than it won after winning only two more games than it lost two years ago.
2. UGA basketball has not had a player arrested recently. UGA football had 11 players arrested last year.
3. UGA basketball coaches appear to have the ability to take good, not great, players and coach them up. UGA football coaches appear to be able to recruit blue chip, top of the line football players. Period.

Late in the season attended the UGA & Fla game in Athens and sat right behind coach Fox. Let me tell you he got all over Leslie at one point in the game and I knew right then he(Fox)is the right coach we needed. And I might add that steg was pretty packed that day with Dawg fans. I think the UT loss will make us a better team because of all the bad decisions we made in the second half. I look for us to beat the gators tonight and maybe upset Ky in Lexington sat. GO DAWGS!!

Buckeye, there seems to be something you do not understand. Beating Arkansas does not count as a win against an SEC power any more than a win vs georgia would. The SEC powers are the Mighty Gators, Alabama, LSU, Auburn, and Tennessee. Then you have the bottom tier teams like Vandy, Kentucky, Arkansas and georgia. Being superior to georgia, which Ohio State is, is nothing to brag about, they are not respected by anyone down here. The only thing georgia is the best at is arrests and losing to teams from smaller conferences, which will make apparent tonight in athens. The headlines will read “Florida beats georgia”. Again

Heard good things about UGA basketball, and tuned in to watch for first time tonite. Can’t figure out why the unwarranted excitement. I see a basketball version of UGA football. A superior coach(Donovan) against a coach with no answer. A finesse team against a muscle team(Florida), and muscle in football or basketball trumps finesse each and every time. Smoking mirrows can get attention but once the attractees get the picture they don’t stay tuned very long. Most fans to stay interested wanta see a contest, not a beatdown as we regularly see with UGA football/basketball. What a joke and waste when what you have heard doesn’t coincide with reality.

Ahhhhh…actually thought of going to game…saw it was Florida…remembered we never beat them in anything…remembered that UGA never wins anything important…remembers that UGA is all about hype without performance or results….remembered UGA is known for underperforming and choking…didn’t go to game, but wasted my time watching it with my kids…they hate UGA because “they never beat any good teams in football or basketball”…..so fluck UGA AGAIN…more of the same in Athens…I hate being a UGA fan…wish I had gone to Florida and could pull for a winner….

in the end of this game and the Tennessee game the Ga players were out hustled on their home court…..inexcusable. Be lucky to win 8 conf games…..guess NIT…..which for this program would be progress.

Hey Tim, tell Bradley to keep predicting….big week for Georgia and they lay an egg in their home game.
Can’t wait to see them in Lexington against the Cats!
Bradley continues to show his knowledge….

A great game, but more of the same. Out coached by florida, AGAIN! One lousy free throw and UGA can’t make it! It boils down to mental toughness – Richt doesn’t have it and Fox just got schooled by Donovan.

UGAy played about like you would expect a bunch of undisciplined gangbangers to play. It was slice-and-dice time for the vastly superior Gators.
In basketball as in football, UGAy has sunk to total irrelevancy.

“It boils down to mental toughness – Richt doesn’t have it and Fox just got schooled by Donovan.”
That sums it up perfectly for the Athens losers.

I am so sick of loosing to Florida I could throw up. I just don’t understand how you could let someone go all the way down, court pull up, and shoot a three uncontested.

Florida is a good team. Unlike the football program the basketball program is in good hands with Fox. Now if we can just get Richt out of here…

Calm down Dawgs; you have a very good team which is light years ahead of last years. The lesser athletic but better coached team won.
