At 8:45 a.m. Athens Standard Time today---like, in half an hour---I am scheduled to appear on 92.1 The Ticket with Josh Bertaccini to discuss tonight's Georgia-Arkansas basketball game. Listen in, if you would. Go 'Dawgs!

Indiana returns four starters from last year's 27-win team, and the Hoosiers are a probable preseason No. 1 team. Hey, no pressure, there, Mark. Go 'Dawgs!

Read my responses, including my score prediction, at our SB Nation sister site. Go 'Dawgs!

Tar Heels and Blue Devils square off on the hardwood every year, but two of our writers debate which school is more enticing for a Blue Chip Recruit???

No, I don't understand it, either. Go 'Dawgs!

Someone with more time and math skills than I possess sat down and figured out that the Fox Hounds have a 49.7 per cent likelihood of finishing fourth in the East, an 82.2 per cent likelihood of finishing either third or fourth in the East, and only a 15.4 per cent likelihood of finishing fifth in the East. While a second-place finish (and an accompanying first-round bye) would be nice, there's only a 2.4 per cent chance of that happening. The important thing is to finish either third or fourth in the division, thereby earning a first-round date with one or the other of the two sets of terrible Tigers languishing at the bottom of the SEC West. The chances of that are looking pretty good. Go 'Dawgs!

I know I'm new to this whole "paying attention to college basketball" thing, but this is going to be the first year in which every NCAA Tournament game is televised? For crying out loud, every two-bit bowl game pitting MAC and Conference USA also-rans has been televised on ESPN for the last 20 years, and they're only now getting around to televising the entire NCAA Tournament? You have to be kidding me! Go 'Dawgs!

Both of Georgia's road losses this year have been to teams that currently are ranked. Go 'Dawgs!

Apparently, spelling doesn't count in making that determination. Our colleagues at Arkansas Expats are still giddy over last weekend's win over Vanderbilt. Here's hoping the Hoop Hogs are similarly starstruck by their own magnificence and wholly unfocused on Wednesday night's game. Go 'Dawgs!
