Scouting Georgia

Georgia concludes its participation in the 2013 Charleston Classic with a Sunday afternoon contest against Nebraska. The Bulldogs arrive at this game with a 1-3 overall record, having dropped its first two games in Charleston, first to Davidson and, most recently, to Temple by an 83-81 tally on Friday night. Georgia trailed by 13 to the Owls at halftime and by 15 early in the final period. The Bulldogs, however, fought back to take an 81-80 lead with 18 seconds left, only to see Temple guard Will Cummings sink a long 3-pointer to win with seven ticks left.

Georgia's core of returning players remains solid for the 2014 season, yet coach Mark Fox will be incorporating a slew of newcomers into the lineup. Senior Donte' Williams and sophomore Brandon Morris are the only two returnees who were starting at the end of last season. Three key players, however, have seen significant playing time, plenty of which came as starters: redshirt junior Marcus Thornton, junior Nemi Djurisic and sophomore Charles Mann. The latter, in fact, earned Freshman All-SEC honors last season in primarily a reserve's role. Djurisic is Georgia's top returning scorer, despite his part-time starter status last season. Thornton had started seven of nine games before a knee injury ended his 2013 season.

Georgia began this season amidst low expectations...externally, anyway. The Bulldogs were picked by the media that cover SEC basketball to finish 11th in the 14-team league, ahead of only South Carolina, Mississippi State and Auburn. This, despite a 9-9 SEC record last year and an eighth-place tie in the final regular-season standings. Kentucky, Florida and Tennessee were picked 1-2-3 in the same poll. Additionally, no Bulldogs were selected to the 16-player pre-season All-SEC lists.

Miles brought the team and staff to the Husker group of fans in town for the tourney gathered at a Charleston watering hole yesterday for about 40 minutes before the PSU kick off. The players seemed genuinely appreciative and surprised at the traveling support and interacted enthusiasticly with all of us. Miles was his usual entertaining self. It was a great PR move and typical of the direction of this program.
