Georgia Preview Capsule

Georgia

Last season: 21-12, 11-7 SEC; Lost to Michigan State in NCAA Tournament second round.

Nickname: Bulldogs.

Coach: Mark Fox.

Conference: Southeastern.

Key returners: G Charles Mann, G Kenny Gaines, G J.J. Frazier. The perimeter game should be a strong point for the Bulldogs.

Who left: F Marcus Thornton, the team's leading scorer (12.3 ppg) and rebounder (7.3 rpg); F Nemanja Djurisic, one of four players to average in double figures (11.0 ppg).

The Skinny: The Bulldogs are looking for their third straight 20-win season, which has happened only one other time in school history. Fox considers that an important milestone in establishing the sort of consistency that has long been lacking in this program.
