Georgia has played the best team in the country the Fla. Gators..But, I don't think they have played a team with the defense Fresno State can throw at you...Georgia only has two scoring threats...If Fresno can contain them..Fresno win's by 20!
No doubt in my mind that the Bulldogs will win. Fresno State Bulldogs that is. It's a VERY awesome thing that Fresno State (men's) at least have a chance of 1 game, hopefully more, of post season play. Visalia LOVES the Basket Ball Dogs. Don't know if they will win by 20 but I predict a win. GO DOGS.
your crazy, fresno state doesn't have a chance with anybody outside of the wac conference. hell, bucknell will beat fresno by 30. it wont be close, fresno fans will just have wait until they get a miracle in their recruiting, because its going to be a long time before they even advance to second round of the NIT, but to even get looked at to join 65 of the best teams in the nation.

You are a fan of who? Considering this, did you forget that within the WAC the #10 team in the nation exists?
If the Bulldogs play like they played against New Mexico and Utah they could surprise some teams and go deep into the tournament. It would be a stretch to say can win it all. They don't have enough depth.
Good Luck in the NIT Fresno. The Utah State Aggies are cheering for you. A NIT win would be great for your team and the WAC.
Initial observations appear to have this as a pretty good matchup for Fresno State.
Georgia's best player is Takais (tuh-KAY-is) Brown, a 6-8 junior forward who averages 14.1 points and 5.8 rebounds. Their second-leading scorer, Mike Mercer, went out with a knee injury in February.
Fresno State's biggest weakness is still its post play, so no truly large Georgia "big man" means Fresno State MAY be able to penetrate on offense and perhaps not have to double team Brown each time down the floor on defense. Brown made his averages against SEC competition -- the SEC put 5 teams in the NCAA Tournament -- so he may demand those double teams anyway.
Good job Fresno, make us proud out here in Iraq. I will be up at 2 am to hopefully see your game. If not hope to read good things about you in the morning.
Come on up Fresno State. Air Force Falcons are ready!!
