    Not sure if it was a factor but with Georgia sharing a border with Florida and TN will be a relatively easy game for JJ and Haanif's families to attend.

    A reported home-and-home series between Marquette and Utah will not take place, the source confirmed.
    March Madness starts in November

    + Georgia - Utah is a major downgrade for me

    Next time I hope that Marquette is more in tune with your scheduling opinions.

    I disagree. Georgia is probably a small step down, but I'd rather play the lesser team. Both will be worthwhile RPI opponents. Ideally aim for mid to low level teams in high major conferences and mid to high level teams in mid to low major conferences.

    Utah loses Poeltl and others. Georgia could well be the better team next season.

    As a resident of metro Atlanta (Suwanee) I am very happy to see this. My guess is the Utah home and home will happen in a couple of years when Bailey enrolls. In the meantime I think this is a great strategic move getting some exposure in a market that produces a significant number of highly rated high school basketball players each year.

    Swanee, jeez, you're practically in South Carolina.

    Reptile you're quite right, about a little more than an hour south of Clemson. My oldest daughter actually is a a proud Gamecock and will be a senior at USC this year. My high school sophomore, at St. Pius X in Atlanta, is seriously considering Marquette but it's early. Thought, when Buzz was at MU, that we might schedule a home and home with Frank Martin at USC. Happier to take the less than 1 hour drive to Athens to see MU take on UGA. UGA is losing two top players in guards Kenny Gaines and Charles Mann but should have a very competitive team. Love that MU is getting exposure in a major market within a very strong high school basketball region.
