SI on the 1968 SEC
The man most responsible for the SEC's improvement is the Baron of the Bluegrass himself, Rupp. His winning teams finally forced the other schools to improve. As Georgia Coach Ken Rosemond, who has brought winning basketball to a school that had 16 straight losing seasons before this one, points out, "Following Kentucky's lead, the part-time coaches who were physical ed instructors and assistant football coaches had to be replaced by basketball men, men like Rupp. New arenas then had to be built to finance the recruiting necessary to keep the pace, and then recruiting had to be emphasized to justify the big arenas."
But it took the SEC a long time to wake up. While it dozed between football seasons, Rupp built up a backlog of wins that helped him to become the most successful coach in basketball history. The game that put him ahead of his old coach at Kansas, Phog Allen, came against Mississippi, which had not beaten Rupp in 29 tries. It was Rupp's 772nd win. After the game the fans gave a standing ovation to the Baron, who fancies himself, no doubt correctly, as the grand old man of basketball. He beamed, but Ol' Miss should expect no mercy the next time they meet. He scowled at that win, too.
Mike Pratt a 6'4" forward, is as strong or stronger than Kentucky's muscleman All-America of last season, Pat Riley. He cannot shoot like Casey or rebound like Issel, but he can do a fair amount of both. As good as he is, he might not ever make All-SEC because the conference is loaded with other talented sophomores. Besides Maravich, Casey and Issel, Georgia is being led by 6'11" Bob Lienhard, who comes from the Bronx, and Guard Jerry Epling, from West Virginia. Tennessee has 6'10" Bobby Croft, from the Canadian National Team, and Vanderbilt has leaping Perry Wallace, the first Negro to play basketball in the conference.
This league of youth has been mixed up all season but Rupp's youngsters found themselves last week in position to take over the lead. They met Tennessee at Lexington on Monday night and, before a standing-room-only crowd, beat the Volunteers, 60-59, on Casey's bank shot and Issel's layup.
SI (2-10-1968)
Georgia was next for Tennessee and, even though the Bulldogs had lost at Vanderbilt 82-77, Coach Ray Mears worried about them. With 6'11" Bob Lienhard scoring 13 points, Georgia led the Vols 35-29 at the half, and then the Bulldogs went into a freeze. "Don't call it that," said Coach Ken Rosemond later. "It was a spread offense." Whatever it was called, it worked. Georgia held the ball until Tennessee was forced to extend its zone. When that happened Ray Jeffords worked the open middle with drives and jumpers for 12 points, and the Bulldogs won 61-43 to tighten up the SEC race.
The Bulldogs have three seniors in the starting lineup āforwards Ray Jeffords and Jim
Youngblood and guard Dick McIntosh.
Sophomore guard JerryEpling, the teamās number 2scorer, rounds out the lineup.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Georgia's Dominique Wilkins scored with eight seconds left and Tennessee's Dale Ellis fumbled a pass as the buzzer sounded Wednesday night to give the Bulldogs a 64-63 Southeastern Conference victory over the 18th-ranked Vols.
The Georgia victory thwarted Tennessee's chance to clinch at least a tie for the SEC title. Wilkins tapped in a missed shot by Vern Fleming to pull ahead of the Vols, 64-63. Three time outs later with seven seconds left, Michael Brooks dribbled through Georgia defenders, threw the ball under the basket to Ellis who fumbled as the buzzer sounded. Tennessee's Tyrone Beaman missed the first of a 1-and-1 with 23 seconds left to give Georgia the chance to win.
The game was tied at halftime 33-33 but Georgia built a 54-45 lead with 8:32 left in the game after a nine-minute stretch in which the Vols turned cold and Wilkins got hot, scoring four baskets.
The Vols, 18-7 overall and 13-4 in the league, were led by Ellis with 24 points, Beaman with 13 and Steve Ray with 10. Georgia, 15-10 overall and 9-8 in the SEC, were led by Wilkins' 15 points. Fleming added 14.
Tennessee pulled within 3 points, 58-55, on baskets by Ellis and Brooks with 4:57 left. Beaman then stole a pass and scored and Ray was fouled after he picked off another pass. His free throws put the Vols in front 59-58 with 4:29 left.
The team's traded points until Beaman missed his free throw with 23 seconds left.
Ellis scored 16 first half points and held Wilkins scoreless for the first 16 minutes as the Vols clung to a three-point lead. But Wilkins first basket was a big one for the Bulldogs. He took an alley-oop pass to score and was fouled. His free throw tied the score 28-28 with four minutes left in the first half.
Ellis hit a shot at the buzzer to tie the game at halftime.
'We've had a heck of a season, but this basketball team tonight just couldn't make things go their way,' said Tennessee Coach Don DeVoe. 'Georgia made the big plays. They got the lead and thereon they controlled the tempo. The main thing I'm concerned about at this point is how we come back from this loss.'
Georgia Coach Hugh Durham said his team played good defense in the last seven seconds.
'I'll tell you what, I didn't know what was going to happen in those last seven seconds the way Tennessee has been playing,' he said. 'We did a good defensive job. They didn't have much time to shoot. In fact, they didn't even get a shot off, did they?'

LSU was leading by one point and had possession of the ball with one second left in its Southeastern Conference game against Georgia Saturday at Baton Rouge, La. It appeared the Tigers had the victory wrapped up.
But freshman John Williams, two-time Los Angeles City Player of the Year from Crenshaw High, threw an inbounds pass the length of the court and out of bounds. Then Georgia freshman Cedric Henderson, taking the inbounds pass from Melvin Howard under his own basket, hit a short turnaround jumper as time ran out, giving the Bulldogs the win, 59-58.
āAs far as strange games go, this has got to be at the top,ā Georgia Coach Hugh Durham said. A dejected Williams said: āI consider it as my loss.ā
The Tigers hadnāt lost at home this season. They are now 13-6 overall and 7-5 in the SEC. Georgia is 14-5, 6-4.
Henderson led all scorers with 21 points and led all rebounders with nine. Williams and Nikita Wilson each had 17 points for the Tigers.

Actually UGA got a harbinger of things to come with a rare win over UK on January 17.
- Bulldogs Stop Kentucky As Schloss Stars, 71-60
Woodruff Hall Mark Broken
Bob Schloss, the goliath of Jacksonville, Fla., ran absolutely wild, breaking the Woodruff Hall floor record with 28 points while holding big Bill Spivey, the seven-foot monster from old Kentucky, to eight tallies.
Joe Jordan froze the ball 30 seconds all by himself with three Kentucky players falling all over him. Georgia jumped to a quick 8-2 lead and were never headed as they won their first victory over the Ruppmen from the Bluegrass state in 19 years, 71-60.
Coach Adolph Rupp must have been right when he said that Joe Jordan was just about the finest floor man in the SEC, as the little fellow from Lyons, Ind., was all over the court to intercept Wildcat passes continuously throughout the contest. Freezing the ball in the last two minutes all by himself is a feat never seen before in aging Woodruff Hall.
Quick Lead
Georgia jumped out quick in the first few minutes to grab an 8-2 lead and then ran it to 15-5. The score stood Georgia 39, Kentucky 31, at halftime.
Schloss led the first-half surge of the Bulldogs with 16 tremendous points. The elongated Spivey could make only four, as "Slim" stuck on him like flypaper. Walt Hirsch was the top gun for the Wildcats with 10 first-half points. E.L. Rainey helped Schloss in the first stanza with 11.
As the second half began, Kentucky racked up four straight field goals to run the score to 39-38, but Bob Healey came back to score two goals, and the Bulldogs were once again safe.
Pull Ahead
Georgia and Kentucky continued to swap fouls and field goals and the Dogs held he lead 64-55 with four minutes left.
Time rolled by and the 'Cats became desperate, fouling Bulldogs left and right. The contest moved to the two minute marker with Coach Whatley's hardwooders still on top , 67-60. Kentucky didn't tally after that, but the Red & Black basketballers gathered four more and the hard-fought, thrill-a-minute contest was over with Georgia handing Kentucky their second conference defeat in five years, 71-60.
'Dog Win - 'Cat Defeat Repetition of 1931 Tilt
- Georgia's victory over Kentucky was the first one for the Bulldogs over the Wildcats since 1931. The score in that tilt 19 years ago was 25-16 when Wild Bill Stickland, Buchanan, Ga., threw practically everything in the basket except a Kentucky player.
The three Bluegrass radio stations that came to Athens to broadcast the contest, went away for the first time since '31 with a disgruntled look.
