As some know, but most probably don't, as these things tend to slip under the radar with those types of coaches who never want the recognition for themselves, Georgia women's basketball head coach Andy Landers is one win away from his 800th at Georgia. He won an additional 82 games while coaching at Roane State (a junior college) from 1975-79, but the NCAA doesn't recognize those wins - meaning that in their eyes, tonight is the true No. 800.Â
We will be on hand for the game tonight, live tweeting updates from our Twitter account @UGAHedgesBlog, so be sure to follow along as one of the greatest Bulldogs ever chases history.
