I was at the game last night and can honestly say that was a top 5 UGA sporting event I've ever attended (includes 4 football seasons) and many students I talked to agreed. The energy and exchanging of chants with the UK faithful was something that I've rarely seen at basketball games and this game showed that we CAN build up our basketball program and can have success and excitement in a sport in Athens not named football. As far as the game went, the only thing that I look back on and say that we really hurt ourselves with was free throw shooting. Other than that, we battled, scrapped, got flagrant fouls, but at the end of the day UK's superior size and talent was too much and you have to tip your hat to them for making the plays when they needed to. It's just so hard for us to stop them inside the whole game and they eventually broke us.

I hope last night made an impact for someone - recruits and students. I don't think Fox is an elite coach, but he's a good coach. Find a way to recruit and get students involved like last night and BOOM magic happens. I highly doubt I ever see a UGA basketball national title in my lifetime, but consistency at the top of the conference and regular tournament appearances would make the late winter/early spring parts of the calendar pretty enjoyable. In fact, for all the hand wringing I've done over some of the games this season, I would say without a doubt that I have enjoyed watching this team play and following the program this season.

TL;DR: Life as a fan is fun when your teams are winning.
