ATHENS, Ga. -- Few people know the ins and outs of Georgia men's basketball as well as Mark Slonaker, who played there in the 1970s, coached there in the late '80s and early '90s, and then worked as a radio color commentator for the team.
Slonaker, a former head coach at Mercer, has experienced or witnessed the very few highs and many, many lows in the Georgia program for nearly five decades.
"We've had success, right?" Slonaker said. "We've had good teams, we've even had short bursts of two, three, four years in a row where we were good and excited.
