Our permiter D is terrible. We crash on the guy who drives and leave shooters wide arse open from 3.

Combine that with the fact that we have 5-6 minute spurts without scoring on the road, and it's tough to win.

I read that we were 18-58 tonight which is 31%.

As I said during the Paradise Jam tourney when we beat Hofstra the difference between this year and last year was shooting around 50% instead of 30%.

If we continue to shoot around 30% we will lose. Plain and simple. I thought we had turned a corner in this regard but obviously we haven't.

Frank did warn about our shooting going cold coming out of the non-conference schedule saying that instead of taking extra shots in the gym players had more distractions with school back in session.

He could have just been hedging against our poor OOC schedule though

Frank switched up the D to zone for one possession after the last media t/o down 54-50. uga was at the line and hit 2 ft coming out of the last t/o. Thornwell matched two ft at the other end. USC's first chance back in the zone left Frazier wide open deep in the corner in front of the uga bench for 3 and bumped the lead to 59-52 w 3:17 to play. Chat couldn't get out to defend it.

over the next minute, Dozier missed a front end of 1 and 1, Carrera missed one of two ft and uga got an offensive rebound for a kick-out 3 from Frazier that buried the Gamecocks 62-53 with 1:52 to remaining.

Frazier had a quiet night overall, but scored 10 of uga's final 15 points on two 3's and four ft. his only other 3 of the game came on the play running from behind our bench and hitting a late shot clock 3 in 1H.

USC had chances to change the game at 44-41 (Dozier gave up off board for 2 points on miraculous tip in), 46-43 (Kacinas turnover), 46-43 (Thornwell turnover), 50-48 (3 consecutive offensive boards for 2 point tip in) and just shite it away.

USC was out-rebounded (out-hustled) and out-scored from the FT line. this team isn't built to win ball games when that happens.
