[su_spacer size=”40″] The Bulldogs are coming off back-to-back 20-win campaigns for just the third time in the program’s 107 seasons of competition. Georgia returns three starters and nine letterwinners from a year ago when the Bulldogs finished 21-12 overall and 11-7 (t-3rd) in the SEC. Georgia earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament before falling to Michigan State, an eventual Final Four participant, in the Bulldogs’ initial outing of the tourney.
[su_spacer size=”40″] Seniors Kenny Gaines and Charles Mann averaged 11.7 and 11.2 points per game, respectively, last season and headline Georgia’s returning starters. Mann became UGA’s 45th 1,000-point scorer in the regular-season final at Auburn, while Gaines enters his finale season in Athens just 110 points shy of that milestone. The Bulldogs’ third “returning starter” is actually two players. Juwan Parker started the first 14 games of the season before being sidelined with an Achilles injury. J.J. Frazier started 13 contests thereafter.
