ATHENS, Ga. -- Mark Fox and his players understand another NIT berth wont be enough for this Georgia team.Fox has built a winning program with three straight 20-win seasons and three straight winning records in Southeastern Conference games. But his only NCAA Tournament appearances with Georgia came in 2011 and 2015. He has sufficient talent and depth on his roster to add a 2017 NCAA berth to that list.No one rises to low expectations, Fox said. I think you should expect yourself to be successful. ... We really dont spend a lot of time on outside opinions, but I think internally these kids expect to have a solid team. Thats a good attitude to have in your locker room.Asked about Fox after a 20-14 finish and second-round NIT loss last season, athletic director Greg McGarity said he remained confident the program was on the rise under the coach. Otherwise there would be a different story line, McGarity said.Georgia was picked fourth in the SEC this month by a media panel, and senior guard J.J. Frazier made the preseason All-SEC team. Frazier is the SECs leading returning scorer, at 16.9 points per game. Forward Yante Maten averaged 16.5 points. Matens 8.0 rebounds per game rank second among the leagues returning players.Thats a nice foundation for a team which must replace longtime starters Charles Mann and Kenny Gaines.Fraziers leadership adds strength to that foundation.We probably have the best leadership weve had since Ive been at Georgia, Fox said. J.J. Frazier is a natural leader. I think hes now experienced enough to know exactly what we want to do. Usually what he says is what they need to hear. He really cares about winning and playing the game the right way.---Some other things to know about Georgias 2016-17 season:RUST REMOVED: After missing last season which recovering from an Achilles tendon injury, guard Juwan Parker used Georgias preseason summer tour of Spain to regain his game form. He was able to knock some rust off, Fox said. Parker earned a starting job two years ago before the injury, and could be the favorite to start on the wing this season.LANDERS KEYS: Forwards Derek Ogbeide (6-8, 245) and Mike Edwards (6-9, 225) showed potential but lacked consistency as freshmen last season. Ogbeide, a strong rebounder, ended the season as a starter. Fox said former Georgia womens coach Andy Landers says the sophomores are his possible keys to the season. Fox said his good friend Landers has attended a couple practices and even joined the trip to Spain. Andy keeps saying if those guys who were freshmen last year take a step forward, you guys have a chance to have a very good team, Fox said. I think theres a lot of truth to that.MORE THAN A SHOOTER: Frazier is best known as a 3-point shooter, a skill which overshadows his all-around play. He ranked among the SECs top 10 leaders in eight categories last season, the most of any player, including assists, steals and free throws. Listed at 5-10, 155 pounds, Frazier was third on the team with 4.6 rebounds per game.NOT FORGOTTEN: Georgia returns eight of its top 10 scorers from last season, but the missing two were important. Gaines and Mann combined to average 24.1 points last season. I think we lost a lot more than people realize, Fox said.BARCELONA BULLDOGS: Georgia was 3-0 on its Spain trip. Fox said the practice time was valuable but also important was the camaraderie that is established or strengthened.---Online:AP College Basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org Custom Nike Atlanta Braves Jerseys .

NAPA, Calif. -- Dustin Johnsons first major was only part of a dream season that culminated with the PGA Tour player of the year award on Tuesday.Johnson made it a clean sweep of the tours biggest honors that are named after its most prominent players. He won the Jack Nicklaus Award as player of the year, the Arnold Palmer Award for leading the money list and the Byron Nelson Award for having the lowest adjusted scoring average.I dont even know if I dreamed this would be happening, Johnson said.Johnson previously won the PGA of Americas points-based award as player of the year and the Vardon Trophy for the lowest scoring average.The PGA Tour award is a vote of the players, and Johnson said he didnt even vote.That didnt matter. While the PGA Tour does not disclose vote totals, no one could match the year Johnson had.The 32-year-old American ended his string of disappointment in the majors by winning the U.S. Open at Oakmont under extraordinary circumstances. Because of the USGAs indecision over a potential rules violation, Johnson played the final seven holes not knowing if he would be penalized, and he made sure it didnt make a difference.He followed that up with by winning a World Golf Championship two weeks later at Firestone, and he won the BMW Championship at Crooked Stick. The only disappointment was losing the lead at the Tour Championship and losing the FedEx Cup when Rory McIlroy won at East Lake.Even so, Johnson established himself as a threat nearly every week. He finished out of the top 10 in oonly seven of his 21 starts on the PGA Tour this year.dddddddddddd He won the money list with over $9.3 million and his performance in the final three FedEx Cup events -- 10 of his last 12 rounds were in the 60s -- allowed him to pull away from Jason Day, Adam Scott and Jordan Spieth to post the lowest scoring average.Johnson said he worked harder this year than ever before, but not too hard. On a scale of 1 to 10, he measured his work ethic at a 7+, compared with about a 5 in previous years.Theres still room to work harder, but Im at a level that works best for me so I dont get too burned out, he said. I feel like Im putting in enough quality work that works for my mentality so Im not overdoing it.The key moment for Johnson this year came on a rainy Wednesday after the pro-am at the Northern Trust Open at Riviera. Instead of ducking into the clubhouse for lunch, he headed for the range and began working for the first time with TrackMan, a device using radar technology that allows a player to get dialed in on every aspect of his game. Johnson used it only for his wedges.By years end, he was in the top five in driving distance and proximity to the hole from 50 yards to 125 yards. The last player to do that was Tiger Woods in 2005.Knowing the work Im putting in is working drives me to work harder, it makes me more driven to be better, Johnson said. Thats what gives me confidence. ' ' '
