Though Georgia had a sellout crowd against Florida last Saturday, it is a sight that has been few and far between this season. The only other game the Bulldogs have sold out came against Kentucky on Jan. 24.. EVAN STICHLER/Staff

Bulldogs’ emphatic victory over Gators an unexpected occurrence

By on February 26, 2012

There was just something different about this game. It just felt different from the get-go. Let’s ignore the fact that Georgia started off the game with two free throws before the ball was even tipped thanks to an administrative technical foul after a Florida player dunked a ball during pregame warm-ups. Let’s even ignore the [...]

Numbers don’t add up for Bulldogs in 2012

By on February 25, 2012

Numbers in sports supposedly don’t lie. Except for when it comes to the Georgia men’s basketball team, that is. The Bulldogs are 12-14, 3-9 in the Southeastern Conference through Wednesday afternoon and have been fighting to stay out of the bottom of the league basement all season. With disappointing close losses, inconsistent play, and an [...]

Georgia suffers third straight defeat, lose to LSU 61-53 in Baton Rouge

By on February 23, 2012

Basketball on its most basic level is simple. If you put the ball through the hoop more times than your opponent, you’ll win the game. Somehow the Bulldogs made more buckets than their opponents in yet another game, but they still managed to lose to LSU 61-53 on Wednesday night in the Pete Maravich Assembly [...]

Bulldogs’ offense sputters in second half, fall to Commodores 61-52 at home

By on February 19, 2012

Vanderbilt was tested early by Georgia, but the Bulldogs’ inability to finish plays around the basket early again did them. That allowed the Commodores to stay in the game as they went on to defeat the Bulldogs 61-52 on Sunday afternoon at Stegeman Coliseum. “It certainly was a day where we didn’t shoot the ball [...]
