Levi Stukes hit a game winning three from about half court to beat a ranked LSU team today. Unless we completely collapse in February(knock on wood), we should make the tournament for the first time since the Harrick era. If you have not watched this team play yet, I highly recommend that you do. They have a solid big man in Brown and very exciting guard play with Mercer, Gaines and Stukes. Everyone is talking about how great Brown is right now, but I love watching this trio of guards. They can all penetrate and can pull up for three from anywhere to keep the defender honest. I think if this team finishes strong and does better than an 8 seed in the tournament, then they have a solid chance to win a few games because of the play on the perimeter. Right now, ESPN Bracketology has us in the 8vs. 9 game against Notre Dame with our stock rising(as of 1/24). It would be great just to make the tournament but would be even better if we could do better than the 8 or 9 seed because that would mean we would have to a North Carolina or UCLA in the second game. UNC looked ridiculous against Arizona Saturday on the road. You heard it here first folks, I think they are going to win the whole thing. Florida can go to hell.

If Tech played UGA again, Tech would not win. We have 1 guard to depend on, and he is a freshman. Our best scorer is suspended for the year because he was cheating on his finals. Our chances to make the tourney right now are slim and none. The only bright spot was beating a weak Duke team.
Ha. "Penetrate."
