Who else makes Georgia go on offense

Georgia has been led by Sahvir Wheeler, a 5-foot-10 sophomore guard whose stats include 14.5 points and 7.4 assists through 12 games. Inside they aren’t afraid to play in the paint and Wheeler and Johnson like to get it to Toumani Camara a 6-foot-8 sophomore averaging 14.1 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in 11 games.

Bulldog radio play-by-play man Scott Howard was on The Leach Report radio show Wednesday previewing the game.

"“The team is good around the basket and good at the drive and that’s what makes Wheeler so good as he penetrates and take it to the rim himself or to the backboard. He doesn’t get to the rim due to his size, but he’s a great penetrator and assist guy finding the open guy and works well with Camara.”"

The Bulldogs connected on 9-of-15 from 3-point land to complement the  58.7 percent (27-of-46) they shot from the field against Ole Miss. That was in tune aided by 75 percent (18-of-24) shooting in the second half.
