just sayin'.... Stans teams are funny like that... (and Georgia finished last in the SEC the year before when they won it).
Yea, Georgia went 4-12 in the SEC that year, and then went 4-0 in the SEC tournament.
Makes complete sense to match your SEC win total over one weekend. I remember that, because it was probably the closest AK ever got to the NCAA tournament. Win our first game with Georgia and we probably get in as an at large. Instead, they beat us on a buzzer beater in double OT on their way to the tourney title.
I also think the tornado hitting the Georgia Dome helped them, because they were able to play Kentucky in front of about 2000 people instead of the 20,000 or so they would've had to face had the tornado not happened.
I also enjoyed that because there were so many Kentucky basketball fans in town that weekend, and not one of them got to see their team play that weekend since the tornado hit before UK ever hit the floor.
