*** Georgia-South Carolina LIVE thread

  • Hello from Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, S.C., where I've made the drive to be with the UGA basketball team for tonight's game against South Carolina, which is about 40 minutes away.

    The game is being televised by CSS, but I know many of you don't get that channel (I don't either), so I'll be here with live updates throughout the game on this thread ... and we'll also have the usual postgame review for you.

    Keep it here ...

  • There is hardly anyone here for this game.

    I mean it ... VERY sparse

    Stegeman outdoes this regularly. Feels like a late-season NBA game.

  • An AD once told me the best way to gauge a coach's job security is to look at how many people are in the seats.

    Going by that criteria, I truly fear for Darrin Horn.

  • I do see quite a few UGA fans sprinkled in there though. They're making noise as the Bulldogs take the floor.

  • It's not a trip to South Carolina until you hear "Sandstorm."

    Check. Mark.

    15:18/1st

    The Gamecocks already have almost as many points as the nine they had in the first half the last time the Bulldogs were here. Malik Cooke with 5 of them so far for USC. Thornton and Florevus with early buckets for UGA, which has been going inside a little more.

    Sloppy, ugly game so far. Not much in the way of good offensive basketball. Gamecocks frustrating the Bulldogs a bit with a 2-3 zone to start with.

  • Guard Bruce Ellington looked to be hurt early for Gamecocks. Big blow if he can't return.

    Dogs showing life now and force a Gamecocks timeout. Donte' Williams stuffs back an offensive rebound and Dustin Ware hits a 3 off a steal. 8-0 run.

  • The offense looks much better then it did earlier in the season, maybe its because we're playing usce. Not saying it's where it needs to be but I remember watching us vs. Cal and we didn't have a clue...

  • Connor Nolte getting a lot of playing time tonight. He started his college career down the road at Furman.

    Balanced scoring for the Bulldogs so far. Thornton, Ware, Williams, Robinson, Djurisic and Florveus have all cracked scoresheet.

    Dogs going cold now and allowing some easy buckets inside.

    Game plodding along toward halftime. The Gamecocks went on a 9-0 run to match what the Dogs had managed early. Biggest storyline for UGA right now may be that USC has kept KCP off the board. No points so far for Dogs' leading scorer.

    Gamecocks' Williams sinks a pair of 3s and prompts a Mark Fox timeout.

    Oh yeah. Offensive sparks flying everywhere,

    Into the final minute of the half now, Thornton heads to the line, UGA down 26-21

  • Rather than hold for the last shot of the half, Vincent Williams takes a quick 3 and USC with free throws on other end with 19.5 seconds left in half.

    And here comes ... Matt Bucklin?

  • I'm not kidding. Matt Bucklin just checked into the game, and Fox looks none too pleased with V Williams

  • Thornton leading Dogs with 7 at halftime. Ware has 6.

    KCP sitting on 2 and Robinson has 4. UGA badly needs its scorers to get going in 2nd half

    18:15/2nd

    Dogs open 2nd half by nearly throwing it away the length of the court (Dustin Ware chased it down in backcourt near the other baseline) and then Donte gets an oop jam from Robinson.

  • Georgia 30, South Carolina 30
    15:57/2nd

    The teams combined had 11 turnovers at half and have added to that total early in the second half. Wild prediction: Neither team reaches 40 percent shooting in this game.

    At half, it was USC 34.6% and UGA 31%
