USC-UGA Basketball In-Game Blog

6:45 P.M. - We're in the press room at Stegeman Coliseum for tonight's SEC basketball game between USC and UGA. This place seats about 10,500 but there should be plenty of empty seats tonight. So, if you're nearby, come on down! Georgia is down to seven scholarship players and a walk-on. Chris Barnes could miss tonight's game with an eye ailment. Everyone appears to be healthy for the Gamecocks. They'll go with the same starting lineup as the previous 4 games. The big news re: UGA is the suspension of second leading scorer Billy Humphrey. Tonight is the second game of a 3-game suspension. Tonight begins a 2-game stretch where USC will face opponents they should beat. They host Alabama on Sat. night. Tonight is a "must-win" situation for USC. Frankly, it would be embarrassing to lose to UGA, considering the circumstances.
