In what’s been an up and down basketball season to say the least, the Georgia Bulldogs have set their record for single season attendance. At 15-14 the Dawgs have had a somewhat disappointing season. UGA had arguably their best basketball recruiting class ever and is now 12th in the SEC.
Fans can pat themselves on the back for supporting the team throughout a tough season. A huge factor in Georgia’s impressive attendance is freshman stud Anthony Edwards. Edwards is projected as the top pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
Georgia basketball coach Tom Crean thanked the fans following the Dawgs’ win over Arkansas this Saturday:
"We don't win this game tonight without the fans. We just don't." – @TomCrean

Anthony Edwards and Tom Crean have helped energize Georgia’s program, but can the Bulldogs make a run in the SEC Tournament. Georgia will have to win the SEC Tournament in order to make the NCAA Tournament.
Georgia set a new attendance record last season. With better home attendance, UGA will win more home games and have a better team. Georgia has gone an impressive 12-4 at home this season.
The fans are making a difference as they do throughout college basketball (look at home-away records for every team). Georgia can get even better at home. Elite teams in the NCAA rarely lose at home. Tom Crean and the young Bulldog team will be better on the road next season. This year’s 3-8 record won’t cut it for UGA to make the NCAA Tournament.
Anthony Edwards has been a treat to watch!
