#1 Auburn got lucky to beat the DAWGS. They had a chance to tie it at the buzzer but fell short, this after being down 16 early in the 1st half. Missed Free Throws doomed the DAWGS..9/20 from the stripe doesn't help win games. Make half of those misses, and you win..GoDAWGS!
If UGA could have shot some free throws, they would have won.
Love watching this team. They have grit, determination, unselfishness, and they play some mean D. Without that flurry of 3s by Pettigrew, Dawgs win this game. Constant improvement continues and if they can fix 4 things, they will be winning games like today and Wednesday. 1). Handle pressure - on both inbounds plays and trying to break the press, the Dawgs often look like they are making it up as they go along. 2). Hit simple free throws. 3). Cut out turnovers - kills all momentum. 4). Finish under the basket. Definitely tougher to do than type, but if they improve a little, this is a contender for sure.
Have to admit, I was a bit skeptical of White but he has continued to show improvement. Make a few adjustments and the Dawgs become much more dangerous. Fun team to watch.
Totally agree that they're fun to watch, and it's fun to see the ongoing improvement.
One small disagreement: UGA is actually not a bad FT team (just was bad today). But we are bad at shooting threes — 11th in the league in percentage and 14th in number of treys per game. This was supposed to be one of Blue Cain's strengths, but he's hitting only 28.6 percent.
I'll ditto on you're "handling pressure" observation. We seem to get rattled by the intensity of opponents that are more experienced at high stakes games — Auburn's runs in this today and the entire second half at Tennessee).
What a difference a few years makes .
Maybe if Georgia hadn’t gotten off to such a slow start they could’ve pulled it out. The basketball team definitely looks better and more competitive, but it’s still not where any of us die hard longtime Georgia basketball fans would like to see them. Go Dawgs!!
