Georgia 61 Manhattan 58
Trey Thompkins leads the way with 18 points, Leslie and Robinson each with 13. Chris Barnes with 5 points to lead the bench. It would appear we shot slightly better than 50% from the F/T line. That's unacceptable.
Don't know much about the Manhattan, but I think the fact that we struggled with a team that is expected to finish near the bottom of the MAAC suggests that there's some issues on this team. I think it'll get fixed, but I'm glad the SEC schedule doesn't kick in quite yet.
We'd better get it together, and fast. Insert your favorite picture of Tyrone here...

I'm afraid Tyrone is busy helping the football team with ball security and run defense right now.
After that he’ll be transitioning into a great opportunity in safety engineering with British Petroleum.
Behold...

The Manhattan
How one of these managed to hold us to 61 points is beyond me. Color me concerned.

Thanks, Dave.
I’ve honestly tried to do better with basketball, but the late night last night and responsibilities during the day today (church and seeing off family members at the airport) combined to cause me to miss the existence of this game altogether. Thanks for picking up the slack!
Go 'Dawgs!
My pleasure...
I had to dig a little bit to find out who actually won…which was actually more exciting than watching pro football.

I wasn't at all pleased with the performance today
However, I’m glad its obvious to everyone now that we have problems against shifting defenses and full court pressure. We’ll see it against numerous teams and I’m glad it came to light early so that CMF can get it fixed.
I believe he will.

I can tell you about Manhattan...
they lost by 29 points to Texas A & M on Friday and scored 35 in a loss to Wisconsin on Thursday. They beat New Jersey Tech by five and Penn by lost to Long Island U by 12, I think. Last year they were 4-14 in their conference and were picked to finish ninth this year. They rank 323rd in the country in points scored at 58.8, 298th in FG %, and 202nd in rebounds.
In other words, they are about as bad as they come in D-1. They SUCK.
323rd?!?!
How many Division I basketball teams are there, anyway?

It was a bad weekend for sure...
but it showed us we have a lot of work to do. Now let’s see if they can get on it this week with a solid UAB coming up, and then a should win against Tech.

Glad it was not on TV. Had not recovered sufficiently from the painful GT win,
to suffer through the painful Manhatten win.
A win is a win is a....
who am I kidding? That’s weaksauce.
