UGA Basketball- Elite 8??

How about them dawgs!?!! UGA has astonished the nation in what they did at the SEC tournament, but can they do the
unthinkable? I think they can, let me tell you why.

UGA is led by FANTASTIC Point Guard Sundiata Gaines, who leads the team in scoring, averaging a little over 14 points a game, and (despite being a point guard) leads the team in rebounds per game. If he's playing lights out Xavier could go down, But almost more important is that his supporting cast plays well, Dave Bliss is the leader inside, along with freshman Jeremy Price, & Albert Jackson (who has really come alive toward the end of the season), UGA usually rotates these three in and out.

Billy Humphrey may well be who this game ultimately comes down to, if you watch the game, pay attention to him, If he's 3/5 or 5/8 from behind the arc, UGA WILL win, but if he has a day where he's 1/7 or 2/8, UGA WILL lose.

Also I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Corey Butler & Zach Swanzy are great off the bench. My prediction??

Xavier 65-UGA 69
West Virginia 72-UGA 75
UCLA 85-UGA 79
