Whether the Dawgs were in man or zone, they did not communicate effectively enough to keep the Gamecocks from scoring around the rim. At the half of this game, Hammonds had 0 points and 3 turnovers. Tom Crean tried to put his team in a man defense in the first half, but no one could stay in front of Saben Lee or Scotty Pippen, Jr., who Georgia made look a lot more like Sr. yesterday. Edwards has to start using his big frame to overpower defending guards and get to the rim. UGA finished the first half shooting just 24% from the floor, and they went into the intermission trailing 38-20. Announcer Jay Bilas stated before the game that roughly 30 NBA scouts were on hand for this matchup to see both Toppin and Georgia freshman Anthony Edwards. Wheeler entered the game, but he eventually got a rest while Edwards was still sitting, and the Eagles turned an 8-point deficit into a 23-22 lead with a little over 7 minutes remaining in the half. Their biggest win so far has to be the one over orange people from Illinois. Georgia is now allowing over 74 points a night, which gives them the 274th best scoring defense in the country. For whatever reason, though, UGA got away from this offensive set and found themselves standing around a lot more following the intermission.

Georgia scored 18 of its 31 points in the paint prior to the break, then the Dawgs scored just 18 points the entire second half. It was such a mature decision by the freshman to take the wide open shot versus forcing something contested around the rim. The freshman was so locked in that his teammates seemed content to step aside and let him go off, which turned out to be a decent strategy as the Dawgs made a game out of what was at one point a lopsided blowout. The fact that this team is young is no excuse; they should have gotten better in this regard as the season progressed, yet they didn’t. Coach Izzo’s team at one point in the second half was up by 28 points as Georgia fans sat wondering how this UGA team somehow appeared even worse than the one from the contest against the Flyers. Can’t wait to get my first look at the Dawgs tonight. Any team that was only 2 games under .500 the previous season in a league like the SEC is not in “rebuilding mode”. The Gators had been hitting almost 47% from the floor and nearly 38% from the perimeter. Despite making only 2 of 13 three-point attempts through the first 20 minutes, Georgia kept chucking them up after the intermission and finished the game just 4 of 27 from the perimeter. The only thing more painful than watching Perry shred the UGA defense was the constant reminder that he is a Georgia native that Mark Fox let slip out of state. Georgia opens up the SEC Tournament next week on Wednesday in a rematch with Ole Miss, a team that beat the Dawgs 70-60 in January back in Athens. Since the departure of J.J. Frazier, Georgia has been desperate for a point guard that can attack opposing defenses off the dribble and get the ball into the paint, and it appears that Wheeler is more than capable of fulfilling that role for Tom Crean’s team (9 points, 8 assists). He had opportunities to put the Dawgs on his shoulders and get them off the snide, but he couldn’t convert. However, Georgia’s execution on offense was an exhibition in futility, and honestly, it was painful to watch.
