Year in and year out, avid supporters of Georgia Basketball hit the reset button, excitedly wiping the slate clean in anticipation of a “fresh start.” Sure, there have been misleading glimpses of hope over the past twenty years. Boy, was it fun watching Dennis Felton’s scrappy 2007-08 squad catch fire in the SEC Tournament’s “tornado year,” capturing the conference title in a four-day mad dash that culminated with a trophy hoist on Georgia Tech’s home court of all places? Under Mark Fox, two Dawgs teams (2010-11 & 2014-15) snuck in the NCAA tournament. Outside of those outliers, however, one would be hard-pressed to find another power-5 men’s hoops program that so accurately defines the word underwhelming.
