UGA Men’s Basketball: Dawgs Winning in Different Ways

By John Frierson
Staff Writer

In the fourth game of the Georgia men’s basketball team’s season, Tuesday night against Montana at Stegeman Coliseum, we got to see these Bulldogs continue to evolve as a unit. With eight new players on this year’s team, the Bulldogs will continue to take shape as the season progresses.

What we saw Tuesday, in Georgia’s 63-50 win over the Grizzlies, was a team with depth and muscle and speed. The Bulldogs made 10 of their first 12 shots and jumped out to a nice lead, 21-7, but the rest of the night was more of a struggle from the floor.

Despite the shooting difficulties — Georgia (4-0) finished 27 of 68 from the floor and 5 of 23 from 3-point range — the Bulldogs kept pushing and persisting at both ends of the floor. The game was, in coach Tom Crean‘s words, “the definition of a grinder.”
