KEEP AN EYE ON
GEORGIA
Terrance Woodbury F 6-7, 221
Woodbury became the 38th player in Georgia history to score at least 1,000 career points earlier in the week against Ole Miss. He is averaging 13.8 points and 4.7 rebounds per game for the Bulldogs.
ARKANSAS
Courtney Fortson, G 5-10, 180
It's up to Fortson to dictate the pace and flow of the Arkansas offense. He's averaging 6.2 assists per game, but must cut down on his turnovers. Fortson committed 19 over the last three games. He's averaging 14.8 points and 5.4 rebounds too, but needs to get teammates more involved.

-Members of the 1994 team are in Fayetteville for Celebration of a Championship. They'll be honored at halftime, following a private banquet on Saturday and cookout on Friday at former coach Nolan Richardson's house. (ArkanasSports360.com)
