<p>Georgia heads back to the hardwood on Saturday afternoon fresh from eleven days off due to final exams at the University. <a href="http://atlanta.sbnation.com/georgia-bulldogs/2010/12/6/1860250/georgia-vs-georgia-tech-basketball-the-rivalry-heads-to-the-hardwood">Georgia defeated Georgia Tech 73-72 in its last game</a> in what was yet another close win for the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs are 6-2 on the season and five of those games were decided on the last possession of the game. Saturday's game against Arkansas State starts off a busy stretch for the Bulldogs that will see them play three games in the next five days before Christmas.
