Dawgs on TV Tonight
Hoops: The men's basketball team will host Arkansas at 7:00 pm tonight on FSN South. According to WSB-TV, UGA has absolutely no plans to cancel the game tonight due to weather. The Hawgs are already in town, and the roads should be in decent shape until after the game when the precipitation freezes. Update: UGAA Confirms Game On.
The Athens Banner Herald has an article about freshman Zac Swansey, and the AJC has an article about Woodbury. The Dawgs currently have an RPI of 155 while the Razorbacks have an RPI of 38. A win over the Hogs would bring the Bulldogs into NIT selection range. Given that Arkansas lost to a horrible South Carolina squad on Wednesday, we have a legit shot of picking up a W tonight. Arkansas should be highly motivated after UGA broke their hearts in Bud Walton last year with Steve Newman draining a 25 footer at the buzzer after the Razorbacks had taken a 10 point lead with 2 minutes left.
Football: The East West Shrine Bowl will be played tonight in Houston. Thomas Brown and Fernando Velasco are both on the roster. The game will be televised on ESPN2 at 7:00 pm. Velasco will likely get around 50% of the snaps at Center while Brown will split carries with about 3 other backs. Best of luck to both guys.
