SEC Basketball Standings: Florida Surging, Georgia Collapsing

The Georgia Bulldogs (10-12, 1-7) have lost seven of their last eight games, all in conference play, and are fast fading into obscurity in the SEC basketball league standings. Meanwhile, the Florida Gators (19-4 9-1) have emerged as the best possible contender to knock off No. 1 nationally ranked Kentucky (23-1, 9-0 SEC), thanks in part to emerging Gators center Patric Young. The Dawgs have two games this week, against the 4-4 Arkansas Razorbacks at home, and a Saturday road game at Mississippi State (5-3 SEC).

Georgia Vs. Tennessee: Game Time, TV Info And More

The Georgia Bulldogs will play their second consecutive road game as they take their talents to Knoxville to face the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday night. The Bulldogs will look to win their second contest versus Tennessee as Mark Fox's team defeated the Volunteers 57-53 in overtime on January 18th.

One big point of focus for Fox on his team has been the ability to play efficiently as his youthful squad has been prone to silly mistakes and lapses in judgement this season.

"There’s some fundamental things we didn’t do right that are correctable, but we got to recognize those things in the middle of possessions," Fox said. "We just can’t spend all our timeouts trying to address those things. We’ve got to do some things in the middle of possessions and recognize things so we can be more efficient."

The Bulldogs haven't swept the Volunteers in eleven years, but it would be something to grow on for a young team looking for small victories.

Date / Time: Saturday, February 4, 8:00 p.m. ET

Location: Thompson-Boling Arena - Knoxville, Tennessee

TV: Fox Sports Net South

Radio: Georgia Radio Network, Sirius XM 199
