The Junkyard

The student section today is filled with gray replica jersey shirts on the backs of chairs. Wouldn't exactly call it a gray-out because they're not around the arena.

Decent Sunday crowd is filing in now. Late-arriving, but should be a pretty good atmosphere for a quality opponent.

Ware is hot...that's a big key for this team

Vanderbilt 10, Georgia 7
15:34/1st

Ware starts fast with two shots, and Robinson adds another to keep Dogs close early against a very offensively potent Vandy team.

Caldwell-Pope gets his 2nd foul at 16:18 mark and exits. That's real bad news for UGA, because Fox likes to sit guys the rest of the half with two fouls.

Ware with 5 already, while Vandy's Jenkins already has 6. Jenkins, to me, just might be the best pure shooter in college basketball. Sweet player.

Vandy half-court D is giving UGA fits. Two consecutive possessions all the Dogs could manage was a desperation shot by Vincent Williams as the shot clock wound down. Commodores bailed him out with a foul on the second one.

Vandy 10, UGA 9
13:23/1st

build a little lead and sustain it, then Pope can sit until 2nd half

Vanderbilt 24, Georgia 21
5:30/1st

Vandy on an 8-0 run as Parker drills a 3-pointer to take the lead.

We need to start making our free throws ASAP!! Who is Vincent Williams? I've never heard of this kid....

Pretty impressive for the score to be what it is with UGA playing most of the half without its leading scorer. But Vandy misses Ezeli a good bit too.

Halftime

Georgia 29, Vandy 28

Dogs get a standing ovation as they exit the floor. Winning the rebounding stat and shooting the ball well, but lead actually could have been more if UGA makes a few more point-blank shots, including one late by D Williams.

Robinson leading the way with 10, and Ware has 7 for UGA.

Jenkins with 12 for Commodoes.

Jenkins (12 points) and Taylor (10) doing pretty much all the damage for the Commodores.

For UGA ...
Robinson 10
Ware 7
V Williams 5
Djurisic 5
D Williams 2

KCP played only 4 minutes in the first half. I'm telling you, Fox stands by that philosophy. When a guy gets his 2nd foul, he's usually done until halftime.

Vandy 35, Georgia 33
16:02/2nd

Fox calls a timeout early in 2nd half and goes to town on Djurisic, walking out on the court and chewing him out.

Meanwhile, UGA still playing close, but Jenkins is showing signs of getting hot shooting the ball for Vandy.
