Bulldogs 11-0
BULLDOGS 11-0 AFTER FINISHING NON-CONF. SCHEDULE
The Georgia Bulldogs are off to an 11-0 start for the first time in school history. Coach Lewis Witherspoon continues to have a midas touch, turning mediorce teams into winners. The Bulldogs offensive production has picked up quite a bit, as the 'Dawgs are now scoring more points from their half court sets than from fast breaks. Junior PG Brian Walker has become the leader of the offense, averaging a cool 8.7 ppg and 6.7assists per game. Witherspoon has made a star out of Jr. SF Brian Ramelli. Ramelli is now fourth in the nation in scoring with 16.3 ppg. The Bulldogs really began to play when Coach Witherspoon showed the team just how much he cared about his players. In the Texas A&M game, (a 71-54 win), Witherspoon stormed the court angrily, demanding a flagrant foul on the A&M power forward, who continued to give Georgia's PF Leon Miller sharp elbows, and on one occasion knocked him down, causing Miller to leave the game with a severely swollen ankle. Witherspoon was screaming in the ref's face, "Come on ref!!! Give that jerk a tech, that chump did that on purpose. You can't stand by while that maniac injures my players!!!". For his comments, Witherspoon earned a technical and almost caused a brawl between both teams, but he had won the respect of his team. The players now knew that their coach would stand up for them, they were willing to go to war with this man to take home the SEC title. "It's an outrage that he (the referee) let them (Texas A&M) get away with that type of play. That type of stuff belongs in a wrestling ring, not on the court", said Witherspoon after the game. "I was almost tossed, but I will willingly be ejected for the sake of my players." Since that game, Georgia has looked rejuvenated and has walloped every team with a renewed vigor. Although none of the opponnents were very good teams, the 11 straight wins give the Bulldogs a huge confidence boost heading into SEC play. The Bulldogs open the SEC schedule this week with games vs. LSU and Florida.
