College football fans know that predicting winners during bowl season is tricky. The attitude of the teams drives the outcome as much as talent. If you're not excited about being there, you will get beat.
The NIT is basically like a Tier 3 bowl game. The teams excited about being there do well. Those that pout about not making the NCAA Tournament get beat quickly. For that reason alone, it's interesting to note the sincere enthusiasm from Fresno State. They are excited about their 9th trip to the NIT, and we must match their effort/excitement to win.
Georgia is 1-2 all-time vs. Fresno State. Our only win came in the 1998 NIT consolation game in Madison Square Garden.
