Georgia suffered a huge loss when Trey Thompkins and Travis Leslie left early for the NBA. Thompkins and Leslie were 1st and 2nd in both team scoring and rebounds. Coach Mark Fox who has done a good job in rebuilding the Georgia program over the past two years has had to adjust to losing the high flying athletic ability of Thompkins and Leslie...and focus on establishing a solid defense while finding scoring from other players. This season, it's the guards who are doing most of the scoring with highly rated freshman Ken Calwell-Pope leading the Bulldogs in scoring. Also, guard Gerald Robinson has stepped up in his scoring and leads in assists. Dustin Ware leads in perimeter scoring hitting 37.0%
Georgia does have a win over Notre Dame and a recent win over Tennessee, but are struggling in the SEC with a 1-4 record. Certainly, Georgia can be dangerous at home, but this season they simply don't have the athletes in the paint and depend on outside shooting for most of their points.
UK arrives in Athens off a very difficult win over a very tough Alabama team that played very well. The Cats struggled from the charity line, especially in the 1st half and missed 13 FT's for the game. Fortunately, UK made some vital FT's at the end of the game.
The Cats, quite frankly, were lucky to escape an upset as they missed far too many close in basket attempts.....were outmuscled in the paint and out rebounded....and played spotty defense at times. Obviously, UK still has a lot of improving on both offense and defense. Bottom line....as coach Cal has said.....teams are going to challenge UK in the paint with physical play and these young Cats need to meet that challenge with tougher play in the paint. One positive was that UK only had 8 TO's. I see a UK win over a less talented and less physical Georgia team by 14 points. GO CATS!
