The letdown certainly settled over Foley Field on Monday afternoon when it was revealed that a win in the SEC Tournament against another team on the bubble was not enough, preventing the Diamond Dawgs from a third NCAA berth in a row.
Georgia appeared confident after last week’s LSU win that it had done enough, but in the end, it was not enough to outweigh the factors that had put the Diamond Dawgs in the position of needing a strong conference tournament showing to even get in.
Georgia did not help its case after the LSU win, thanks to a listless loss to top seed Arkansas, 11-2 and 4-0 to Ole Miss.
