PrintGeorgia Bulldogs at Tennessee Volunteers, Feb 17, 2010 8:00 PM EST
On Tuesday, I had occasion to exchange e-mails with Rocky Top Talk's Joel on official SB Nation business, and, at the conclusion of our exchange, I wrote that I would wish him luck in tonight's game but we both knew Bruce Pearl's club wasn't going to need it.
Yes, I'm still skeptical following last weekend's win, because I still remember last Wednesday's loss. While Will Shelton is providing actual insightful basketball analysis, I'm simplifying matters because the situation is not complicated. Look behind the "at" and you'll know whether the Fox Hounds stand a chance.
Tonight, the name behind the "at" is theirs, not ours, which means there are two possibilities: either the Hoop Dogs will register what is unquestionably the biggest win of the Mark Fox era thus far or they will do what they have done in literally every other road game this season and lose. I'm pretty sure the utterly reliable is a better bet than the utterly unprecedented.
Two SEC wins in a row and a road win? I'm not prepared to believe in either, and certainly not in both, but, if you're a glutton for punishment, by all means, have your say in the comments below.
Go 'Dawgs!

I'm gonna try on the pessimist hat tonight...
And say we lose. Probably big.
But as I don’t like the way that hat fits, I’ll wear a bit of optimist and say that I think Jeremy Price has a big game nonetheless…. And maybe a splash of Travis Leslie highlight dunk.

We'd better be ready
for the first 8-10 minutes of this game. I think UT is going to try and replicate what we did to them last month. If we can somehow withstand the the inevitable onslaught, not turn the ball over…
…ah, shoot. Who am I kidding. It’s a road game and we play like road kill. Glass half empty Dave tonight, I’m afraid. Guess I can hang out with Tankertoad et al.

Both teams seem pretty inept so far... Which is fine by me

Better than 20 per cent field goal shooting by either team . . .
. . . would be nice, though.
Go 'Dawgs!
It would certainly be more fun to watch...
Nonetheless, the longer it takes them to get settled, the better our chances.

The last 2 Albert Jackson scoring plays have been very Memphis-esque.
I didn’t know Fox was a fan of the Dribble Drive…but I’l take it.

Nine of Georgia's 14 points are from the bench
Offensive rebounding is virtually nonexistent for both teams, though.
Go 'Dawgs!
Price has made a noticeable improvement in his upperbody quickness and reaction time.
His overall game is dramatically improved and he is rapidly making me like him a great deal.

Felton is looking more and more like Lionel Richie...
That’s good cause Trey Thompkins is gonna show him how its done all night long…

Those crickets you hear...
Are the sound of what happens when I try to use an 80’s music pun… My 80’s movie references on the other hand are solid gold.

No crickets
I heard the song playing in my head…..
"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
I had an image...
In my head of a blind Dennis Felton presenting a sculpture of a Vol Hostess after groping her face, but thought it might be in poor taste.

Zlovaric dribbles the ball WAY too high
He makes me very nervous.

As a help to those of you who don't know as much about the game...
You may have noticed at UGA defender running out at the UT 3 point shooter and put his hand toward the shooter’s shooting hand. The reason they do this is simple, statistics prove that if you go toward the shooting hand, the shooter misses 5% more of the time than if not. Good D by the Dawgs.
An effective
if not pretty first half. Hope Leslie can get untracked in the 2nd half…we need him.

The Refs
Are being particularly tough on him. I wasn’t sure about that 2nd foul they called on him. Seemed ticky-tack to me.
Probably...
But it evened out on the Chism foul during Trey’s fall away.

That being said...
I do think they’re being awfully ticky-tack so far all the way around. Kind of the opposite of the SCAR game.

Apparently the refs have now decided to call nothing

That foul on Ware was brutal
But at least he looks like he’s ok

Down by 9
We lose.

Well I was proven correct
And strangely don’t feel better.
Thompkins was amazing but Leslie was a non-starter. Price continues to amaze me.
I may prefer the disapointment associated with optimism.
