PrintTennessee Volunteers at Georgia Bulldogs, Jan 23, 2010 5:00 PM EST
I will admit that I'm not the most attentive basketball fan in the world, but, if I'm reading the schedule correctly, it seems that Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs are slated to take on Bruce Pearl's Tennessee Volunteers in Stegeman Coliseum at 5:00 this afternoon. The Fox Hounds come into the game trailing a three-game losing streak in a trio of closely-contested contests against quality competition.
Andy Landers's Lady Dogs just last week knocked off longtime nemesis Pat Summitt's Lady Vols, and double-dipping the solid Tennessee roundball squads will be a tall order indeed, but, as Rocky Top Talk respectfully notes:
"This ain't the old Georgia. These guys are good." And unfortunately for us, they're also due. . . .
Stat you don't want to mess with: Georgia leads the SEC in free throw percentage.
Georgia is young, and while Mark Fox didn't get the publicity that went to John Calipari and Anthony Grant, Nevada won the WAC four times in his five years there.
(I can't help noting that, once Lane Kiffin was gone, a Dooley was hired, and everyone calmed down, the Tennessee fans went back to being a reasonable, civil, and classy bunch. Welcome back from that year-long bender, guys. We forgive you, and you're welcome.)
Feel free to join in the conversation and follow the game with your fellow fans in the comments below.
Go 'Dawgs!

Important game..
as well as we’ve played, we are having trouble closing the deal. A win would really set us up well for the rest of the conference schedule as we are just about through the brutality of the opening 4 games.
We’re rested and maybe UT is a little fatigued. Hope the crowd is a boisterous one and we can jump on ‘em early and often. When was the last time we beat the Lady’sroomVols and the Men’sroomVols in the same week?

-Erk Russell
Good catch, Kyle.
Once the fanbase was de-Kiffin’ed, they became much more manageable.
Oh, and apparently Pat Summitt thought Andy Landers or one of his players had to channel spirits from the beyond to beat them or something, because I totally heard that this was her reaction to the game:
Go Gentleman Dogs tonight!
Was this picture taken at Madame Tussauds?
I’m scared hold me.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."

Gentleman Dogs....
I like that.
Now all we need is for Coach Fox to slap Bruce Pearl with a white glove and demand satisfaction.
Go Dawgs!!!

Yeah, Kentucky totally made a deal with the devil on that one
They’re basically Jerry Tarkanian’s Runnin’ Rebels at this point.
Of course, if you’re going to hire a Jim Harrick, you might as well win a national championship before getting on probation. The only thing worse than cheating to win is cheating and losing, anyway.
Go 'Dawgs!
If we can develop outside shooting anything like this to complement the inside game, The Fox Hounds will be on fire the rest of the year!

No doubt.

I started barking like I was watching the football Dawgs!
I haven’t done that in a long time.
Sorry to be the Pessimist here
But i’ll be a bit more excited when we play this hard and this well in the LAST 8 min of the game instead of the first 8.

I agree
The last 3 games have taken some of the Kool-Aid out of my half full cup… Despite the good play.
Nonetheless, they are playing with visible passion and seem to be jacked out of their minds while retaining focus… A tricky proposition.

"I look forward to developing an aggressive, physical, attacking style defense that offenses will not look forward to playing against." - Coach Grantham
Exactly . . .
. . . pessimism leavened by hope is the way to go.
Georgia had the same won-lost record, both overall and in conference play, in Tubby Smith’s first year as the Bulldogs did in Hugh Durham’s last year. Georgia had the same overall won-lost record in Mark Richt’s first year as the Bulldogs did in Jim Donnan’s last year. Both represented real progress, though, because you could see improvement in the way those teams played and could be confident that would produce additional victories down the road.
It’s a process, but Mark Fox has this program pointed in the right direction. The questions are, how long will it take for it to take hold and how high is the ceiling on this program?
Go 'Dawgs!
and...
Once he gets there, can we keep him around for the longhaul?

Given Damon's willingness to open up the checkbook for the first two guys . . .
. . . I think he’ll pony up when Coach Fox clears enough hurdles.
Go 'Dawgs!
I hope he has to write him a big check...
because our Foxhound can coach.

I love the energy the Dawgs are playing with
and the focus is great too! Playing the 8th ranked team in the country and leading them by double points is reason to be excited at this point. Makes the last 8 minutes easier to keep the lead.
There is such a dropoff
from the starting 5 to the next 5. These guys have got to improve…and Albert Jackson should play more. On the offensive line. For the tackle football team.

For the first time in a long time...
I feel like we have a distinct homecourt advantage.
Now if we could just sustain this kind of attendance and crowd noise we’d be in business.
Of course, beating the #8 team in the country (and I’m not saying we will… In fact we won’t… Yeah that’s it) would help in that regard.

100 cocktails, Southern Dawg
By the way . . . it occurred to me the other day that, while Derek Dooley was playing for Virginia, the Cavs came calling in Sanford Stadium in 1987, Vince’s penultimate year as coach. (I attended that game.)
Which way was Vince rooting then, for his son or for his team?

Halftime stats
Travis Leslie is a couple of assists shy of being on track for a triple double (8 pts, 3 assists, 5 reb) and Thompkins is on track for a double double (14 pts, 5 reb).
Works for me.

Here comes the cat-and-mouse game...
Pearl has to make major adjustments, particularly on defense. We’ve scored alot in the paint. Here is where we need two shooting guards.

And understand
that turnovers are not an option. Just play smart, spread the floor, make good passes, don’t let your buddy get caught in a trap, and when you find the layup, make it.
three passes and a short base line jumper - more of that

Thanks for pointing that out, tankertoad
We’ve been critical of the Volunteer faithful over the last year (and with good reason), but, on the whole, Tennessee fans generally and the Rocky Top Talk crowd specifically are good people. Their fans and bloggers are a lot like ours, Joel has always been gracious and helpful (he is one of the lead college bloggers for SB Nation), and they did a fair writeup.
They deserve praise, and I thank you for offering it.

"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
Double-digits in points, rebounds, and assists
If you score ten points, grab ten rebounds, and get nine assists, you don’t have a triple-double. If you get ten of each, you do.
I like your version better, though.
Go 'Dawgs!
I like my version better too
but I thought I’d try to learn something about Roundball, even if it’s for no other purpose than to virtually hang out with y’all.
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
Your next question will have to be fielded by someone else
My knowledge of basketball has now officially been exhausted.
You’d learn more about the sport by watching “Hoosiers” than by talking to me. (Actually, “Hoosiers” is a fine film, so I’d recommend watching it, anyway. Finest sports film about a sport I know nothing about since “Slap Shot.”)
Go 'Dawgs!
my basketball knowledge is miniscule
but then again, I"m the same girl that went bowling last night and swore that scoring in bowling is like scoring in golf, lowest score wins. They did not believe me.
"Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances." Mark Twain
or steals, blocks....those count as well...
so you could have 11 points, 10 steals and 10 blocks (which would be wierd) and have a triple-d.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
See? I told you I knew nothing about basketball!
All these years, I’ve thought a triple-double was in three specific statistical categories, like a major league hitter winning the triple crown.
So you’re saying hitting double-digits in any three statistical categories counts as a triple-double? That notion strikes me as a little dubious—-not entirely unlike the ludicrous attempt to count Tiger Woods’ winning of the last two majors of one year and the first two majors of the next year as a grand slam (which would be like saying a slugger had broken Roger Maris’s record by hitting 62 home runs between the all-star break of one year and the all-star break of the next year, which I believe Mark McGwire did in the mid-‘90s)—-but, if it’s the rule, it’s the rule.
Thanks for cluing me in. I never knew that. Huh.
Go 'Dawgs!
As long as
it’s a positive stat. In other words, 10 rebounds, 10 points, 10 turnovers is not a triple double.
Right. Gotcha.
Yeah, I figured it had to be ten good things.
Ten fouls (which you’d have a hard time doing, I guess), ten missed free throws, and ten trips to the bathroom wouldn’t cut it.
I just never knew it was anything other than points, rebounds, and assists. I’ll be danged.
Go 'Dawgs!
There is even a quad double and a quint double as well
"I look forward to developing an aggressive, physical, attacking style defense that offenses will not look forward to playing against." - Coach Grantham
I thought "quint double" was . . .
. . . the technical term for the guy who did Robert Shaw’s stunts in “Jaws.”

isn't the quint double thing
like a TLC reality show or something?

My son, Thomas, played his third game of first-and-second-grade Upward basketball this morning and he received a red star for defense. He played 24 minutes of a 36-minute game and (if such statistics were kept) he would have been credited with an assist. Naturally, his team is called the Bulldogs.
Go 'Dawgs!
I played Upward
Fond memories. A bunch of Duke players came to our summer camp… I got to have a 3 point competition with Thomas Hill (brother of Grant Hill). The whole league was just a great experience.

I played Downward
’twas the shortest kid on the team.

LOL
I was 6’4" by the time I hit 7th grade so I was dominant in the elementary and middle school years. Its pretty easy to roll when you have 7-10 inches on the next tallest kid.
Needless to say, when they started growing in high school, my talentless basketball career was pretty much over.

Yeah, the other team's height advantage definitely was the difference this morning
We were out-rebounded by about 211-3. Thomas stayed on his man, though, so he had a good defensive game, even in the loss.
It’s been a good experience for him and we like his coach a lot. This morning’s opposing coach was a tad too intense—-my wife and I referred to him as “Upward Meyer”—-but our coach smiled after the game and told the kids, “We executed a play!” For the record, the play was “Stack One Bennie,” in which every other kid lines up and the ball is inbounded long-range to Bennie beneath the basket.
Go 'Dawgs!
Never played Upward
but I have seen the premise. Looks good. Sounds like your coach has it going in the right direction. Especially with the kids, it’s all about instilling a love of playing the game and getting basics out of them. Once they love it, they’ll (generally) work on the fundamentals on the playground, in the backyard, whatever, and will worry about the intensity later.
Upward Meyer
I love it.
Did he call multiple timeouts with a massive lead?
Maybe he’ll take a leave of absence if ya’ll have to play them again.

A Bulldog win is always
SWEET!
Sorry I missed it, had to buy new locks for the house and install them today. Plus I have to move a TV, but that’s after supper work.

I can't believe how Florida just won their game...
Thought South Carolina’s sneaky good point guard broke their hearts, but Florida hits the 3 at the buzzer.
I hate Florida.

This just in...
Billy Donovan has taken the HC job of the New Jersey Nets…
No wait, he’s changed his mind.

I heard that, when Urban Meyer got the text message . . .
. . . about Billy D’s departure, it nearly gave him a heart attack.
What, too soon?
Go 'Dawgs!

Urbs is back to coach the spring game. Couldn’t stand the 1.5 day “leave .”

Maybe they've used up their yearly allotment.
