welcome sports fans to the quick-hit thoughts for tonight’s game between the dawgs and the razorbacks. I’ll keep you updated on what’s going on with posts after the first half and at the final buzzer. feel free to tell me what you thought of the game:

1st half:

Georgia going into full court pressure early. i like the aggressiveness coach Felton is taking. Shows that he wants to win big tonight

The poor shooting from the perimeter continues for Georgia. they need to get better at shooting from the outside to have any real shot at winning in the SEC. They’re to eager to take a shot without looking at their options early

The rebounding game needs some serious work. they’re getting beat on both boards on easy rebounds

Billy Humphrey is making it look easy. he’s a great scoring 2 guard, and has been great in the starter’s role, is fast off screens and has phenomenal touch on his long range shots. his defense still needs a minimal amount of work, but he more than makes up for it on offense.

Georgia seriously needs a big man who can draw double teams. their poor shooting would be greatly aided by a big man who can draw constant double teams and clear up the perimeter for Georgia’s shooters.

Chris Barnes is a phenomenal freshman. already he has a block, a massive dunk, and he looks like he’s about to tear someone’s head off constantly (in a good way). He’s playing with grea energy, although he still needs some work on his mechanics in the pivot.

leading scorer with 7 minutes in the first half: Dave Bliss…who’d have thought? he’s playing a great game. strong on the boards, fighting for every board and fighting for every single point he can get.

georgia has 8 turnovers in the first 14 minutes. most of them off very bad decisions and passes. its a recipe for trouble if they can’t change it soon.

georgia has a big hole in the low post. Arkansas is getting big points simply lobbing it to the low post.

The Dawgs’ big men need some serious work on their low-post offense. They can’t work under the basket without dribbling the ball or falling into defensive traps.

half time score: Dawgs 34, hogs 27.

back with more in the 2nd half.
