Third Georgia Game Thread

Post by nyyankeeDore »

In tonight's game VU is a 9-point favorite (with a 79% probability of winning). Georgia should be expected to play loose and with nothing to lose. Let's hope Vanderbilt can be equally loose and ready to let it rip.

Defense looking strong, shots will start falling.

A huge number of our TOs are just poor choices not tough defense. Another space shot pass.

Team playing fine.

Should be ahead by more. Sometimes that comes back to bite you.

Need to go for the jugular while Georgia is struggling to score.

Well we did open a 30-10 lead through 18 minutes. Very good half of defense - and rebounding.

Bogus second foul on Jordan. 8 fouls to 3. Refs don’t want to see a blowout???

And a weak foul on Mann. They called next to nothing early in the half. All of a sudden changing the way they want to call it. Has to be frustrating for players.

Shot selection still matters - even up 20.

We should go inside a little.

35-14 halftime lead. Hard to complain.

Yet we were 5-20 from 3….

Still, a very nice half. I hesitate to say this: but if we want to play 4 days in a row - you need to rest legs. Here’s hoping subs can keep lead respectable enough to get the starters some rest.

Very good rebounding half.
