UGA Basketball Schedule News

Here's what we know or have heard about our non-conference games:
  • Old Dominion (Virgin Islands) - Nov. 18 (Paradise Jam)
  • Fordham (Virgin Islands) - Nov. 20 (Paradise Jam)
  • TBD (Virgin Islands) - Nov. 21st (UGA would play Wisconsin, Norfolk State or Eastern Kentucky at the tourney. You would think we'd get Wisconsin, but who knows)
  • WKU (Road) - Late November. George from Memphis has more accurate UGA hoops news than anyone.
  • Oregon State (Portland/Neutral) - Dec. 17th
  • Nevada (away) - Dec. 21st
  • Western Carolina (home) - Dec. 31st
  • Clemson (home) - no date yet
  • Georgia Tech (Home) - no date yet
  • Howard (home) - no date yet. This is just a rumor so far, but MemphisDog has the best hoops schedule news around.
Yeah, it doesn't blow my skirt up either. But Clemson and Georgia Tech at home are both good games. Plus, we're playing fewer dregs at home. So that's nice. This is a schedule designed to help a young team make the NIT.

Other news:
Steve Newman played for Athletes in Action this summer in China. Kevin Brophy played over seas with the Aussie National team again. And Singleton and Johnson both played international hoops this summer with Coach Felton. The Newman and Brophy news I got from Coach Hermann at the Atlanta Bulldog Club meeting.

FrenchDog says he spoke with Coach Hermman at the same meeting. His recap is on DawgPost.com's hoops board.

Lastly, the Peach Bowl classic is rumored to have been cancelled for this year, and the rumors of UGA playing Georgia State appear to be false or the deal is dead. It sounds like we're still looking for 1 more non-conference game.
