Bulldogs To Face Gamecocks SEC Tournament Quarterfinals

Georgia looks to continue its impressive late-season surge against South Carolina in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals on Friday. The Bulldogs and Gamecocks will square at approximately 9:30 p.m. ET after the evening's opening date between Kentucky and Alabama.

The Bulldogs are attempting to reach the semifinals of the SEC Tournament for a third straight season. Georgia and Kentucky are the only two teams to reach the semis of both the 2014 and 2015 SEC Tournaments.

The Bulldogs are currently riding the SEC's second-longest winning streak of four games -- a trio of "Ws" against top-100 RPI opponents to end the regular season and a win over Mississippi State last night.

Georgia is in search of another quality win to push themselves further into the NCAA bubble banter. In the Bulldogs' favor?

Georgia's non-conference strength of schedule ranks No. 6 nationally in the NCAA RPI. By comparison, the eight "last teams in" in the most quoted bracketology sport an average a non-con SOS of 112.

Georgia was 7-4 in non-conference play despite playing six of 11 games without a starter in the current rotation -- Derek Ogbeide for five games and Kenny Gaines for one.

One indicator that UGA may be closer than most think is the KPI rankings -- rumored to be a "favorite in the room" of the selection committee -- that currently has the Bulldogs as the third team out of the bracket.

Georgia's balanced offensive attack features four Bulldogs averaging double figures in the scoring column. All told, that quartet has compiled 87 double-digit scoring outputs and 28 20-point performances this season.

Second-team All-SEC pick J.J. Frazier and Yante Maten headline that list.

Frazier averages a team-high 16.8 ppg and is ranked among the SEC's top-10 in a league-high eight stats...basically everything but rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage.

Maten is contributing 16.0 ppg and is the top boarding Bulldog at 8.0 rpg. Maten is the only player ranked among the SEC's top-10 in scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage and free throw percentage.

Seniors Kenny Gaines (13.4 ppg) and Charles Mann (10.5 ppg) also are averaging double figures. Both Mann and Gaines have ascended into Georgia's top-20 career scoring leaders at No. 16 and No. 19, respectively.

South Carolina wrapped up the regular season at 24-7 overall and 11-7 in the SEC.

First-team All-SEC Michael Carrera paces the Gamecocks with averages of 14.5 ppg and 7.7 rpg; however, he missed the regular-season finale at Arkansas last Saturday.

Sindarius Thornwell contributes 13.1 ppg and team-bests of 3.8 apg and 1.5 spg. Duane Notice and Mindaugas Kacinas also score at a double-digit pace for South Carolina at 11.2 ppg and 10.1 ppg, respectively.

Series History With S. Carolina

Georgia currently sports a 57-50 lead in its all-time series with South Carolina, including a 2-0 mark in SEC Tournament meetings.

Georgia swept both ends of a home-and-home series this season, winning 69-56 in Athens and 74-72 in Columbia.

Just eight days ago, Kenny Gaines and J.J. Frazier scored 20 and 19 points, respectively, to lead Georgia. The Bulldogs joined Kentucky as the only teams to defeat South Carolina in Columbia this season.

Gaines' hot hand led Georgia for the majority of the opening half. The Bulldogs' defense was the story of the first period, however, holding the Gamecocks to just 33.3-percent shooting from the field en route to 39-34 lead.

The Bulldogs scored the first four points after intermission, but South Carolina answered with a run and tied things up at 49-49.

The Gamecocks eventually took the lead at 51-49 with nine minutes to go and built that margin to five before Georgia answered with a 7-0 surge.

Both teams traded the lead over the final four minutes, but it was Georgia which scored when it mattered most. Frazier buried the dagger, a long 3-pointer at the end of a 9-0 Georgia run, putting the Bulldogs up six with a minute to play. Frazier, who scored 10 of his 19 points in the final 2:24, then connected on 5-of-6 free throws in the final 38 seconds to ensure the victory.

In the season's initial matchup at Stegeman Coliseum, Georgia started quickly and led for nearly 37 minutes en route to a 69-56 upset over then No. 25/23 South Carolina.

The Bulldogs jumped out to a quick six-point lead after Charles Mann and Gaines hit 3-point baskets on Georgia's first two possessions of the night.

The Gamecocks slowly crawled back before eventually grabbing their first lead at the 14:29 mark. The Bulldogs responded with a 9-2 run that would give them the lead for the rest of the evening.

South Carolina pulled within a single possession four times in the second half, but Georgia answered on every occasion.

Mann became UGA's all-time leader in free-throws made during the win. He went 6-of-8 from the line on the evening, giving him 553 makes for his career.

In last season's SEC Tournament quarterfinal matchup, Yante Maten recorded his first career double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds to lead Georgia past South Carolina, 74-62.

The Bulldogs led most of the first half and scored the first five points after intermission to push that margin to 12. The Gamecocks chipped away and eventually grabbed a 44-43 lead at the 11:44 mark. A pair of Charles Mann free throws 28 seconds later restored a lead Georgia would hold on to the rest of the evening.

Last Time Out

Georgia downed Mississippi State, 79-69, Thursday night in second-round action of the Southeastern Conference Tournament.

J.J. Frazier and Yante Maten both broke the 20-point barrier. Frazier finished the night with a game-high 28 points, while Maten added 20 and grabbed eight rebounds to share team-high honors with Kenny Paul Geno.

"I don't think we handled the double-figure lead very well," Mark Fox said. "You knew that with a team whose season could end would come storming back, especially with the seniors they have. We talked at the final timeout about getting back our composure and stability and we were able to do that. We were able to slow their finish and get the victory."

After a back and forth opening several minutes Georgia picked up some momentum with a 9-1 run to take a 40-29 lead with 1:51 left in the half. Mississippi State closed the gap to 40-34 before Frazier ended the period's scoring with a pair of free throws with sixth-tenths of a second on the clock.

Georgia broke things open taking a14-point lead with 16 minutes to go; however, Mississippi State got things rolling and cut the margin to seven.

Several minutes later Georgia's lead was down to four heading into the final media timeout, but the Bulldogs made their free throws down the stretch to ensure the victory.

Bulldogs Hot At The Stripe

Georgia's four-game winning streak has been aided by excellent free throw shooting.

Over their past four outings, Georgia has connected on 91-of-111 trips to the line, a stellar 82.0.

Both J.J. Frazier and Yante Maten are riding streaks of 20 consecutive free throws made.

Frazier was 12-of-12 against Alabama in the regular-season finale and 8-of-8 versus Mississippi State last night. All told, Frazier has converted 32-of-35 free throws over the past four games, 91.4 percent. Maten is 5-of-5 from the line in each of the past four contests.

Georgia's SEC Tourney History

Georgia sports a 43-53 all-time record in 55 editions of the SEC Tournament.

The Bulldogs have compiled a 34-34 record in SEC Tournament action since the event resumed competition in 1979 following a 26-year hiatus from 1953-78.

The Bulldogs won the 1983 and 2008 SEC Tournaments and finished as runners-up in 1940, 1981, 1988 and 1997.

Georgia has advanced to the semifinals 14 times -- fifth-most in league history -- including each of the past two years.

In fact, the Bulldogs and Kentucky are the only two schools to reach the semifinals of the 2014 and 2015 SEC Tournaments.

Dogs' "D" Has Been Consistent

Georgia currently leads the Southeastern Conference and is No. 3 nationally in field goal defense at 38.0 percent.

The Bulldogs have held 27 of 30 opponents under their season field goal percentage, with two opponents shooting in the 50s, seven shooting in the 40s, 18 shooting in the 30s and three shooting in the 20s.

During the 2015 calendar portion of the schedule, Georgia's opponents connected on a paltry 36.6 percent (218-of-596) of their shots from the field. Subtract out those totals and the Bulldogs' opposition made 45.8 percent (3203-of-6990) of their field goals attempted.

Georgia also held 15 of its 18 SEC foes under their season shooting performance.

In the league opener on Jan. 2, Florida became the first team to shoot a better percentage against the Bulldogs than otherwise. The Gators entered the game shooting 42.2 percent but hit 42.3 -- yes, .1 of one percent better -- versus Georgia.

Texas A&M was the first team to make half its attempts against UGA at 52.7 percent. Kentucky also did so, shooting 51.8 percent.

Better Boarding Bulldogs

Georgia's rebounding efforts have improved consistently this season.

The Bulldogs entered league action ranked No. 8 in the league and No. 158 nationally in rebounding margin at +1.6.

Georgia has since ascended to No. 4 in the SEC and No. 62 nationally at +3.6. More impressively, the Bulldogs were No. 2 in rebound margin in SEC play at +5.6.

Much of that improvement can be contributed to Georgia's youthful frontcourt performers -- sophomore Yante Maten and freshmen Mike Edwards and Derek Ogbeide.

Maten upped his rebounding numbers from 7.5 rpg in games during the 2015 calendar to 8.3 rpg versus SEC foes. Ogbeide was at 3.2 rpg in Georgia's first 10 games but grabbed 5.9 rpg in SEC play, while Edwards jumped from 2.8 rpg to 3.7 rpg.

UGA In Midst Of Most SEC Success

Georgia has extended its most successful stretch in SEC play ever. The Bulldogs finished with a 10-8 league record and in the process:
  • Posted their fourth straight .500 or better league record -- the first time in 84 seasons of SEC play that Georgia has put together four consecutive .500 or better campaigns;
  • Notched their third straight double-figure SEC win total -- another program first;
  • Improved their best-ever SEC win tallies over three-season (33) and four-season (42) spans.
Georgia was 11-7 and tied for third in the SEC last season. That followed a 12-6 record in 2013-14 when Georgia tied for second in the SEC and a 9-9 effort during 2012-13.

The Bulldogs' 23 combined wins in 2013-14 and 2014-15 also represent Georgia's winningest two-year SEC span.

A Special "Senior Day" IN Athens

Kenny Gaines and Charles Mann will forever be remembered fondly in University of Georgia annals. The Peach State natives chose to attend their state university and help build the stature of Georgia Basketball. Over the past four years, they've done just exactly that.

In addition to the aforementioned firsts in SEC play, Gaines and Mann have helped lead the Bulldogs to back-to-back postseason bids and 53 victories at Stegeman Coliseum over the past four years -- the winningest four-season home stretch in program history.

Gaines, Mann Rewriting Records

Kenny Gaines and Charles Mann are consistently making moves on UGA's career scoring leaders ledger.

Mann entered the season at No. 36 among the Bulldogs' all-time points leaders and has ascended to No. 16. Gaines became Georgia's 46th 1,000-point scorer against Clemson on Dec. 22 and is now No. 19.

Mann now has 1,357 points, 10 from the current No. 15 Ronnie Hogue.

Gaines currently has 1,278 points, 70 shy of No. 18 Willie Anderson.

A Massive Amount of "PT"

Kenny Gaines and Charles Mann have played a significant roles since they arrived on campus in 2012.

Between them, Gaines and Mann have a combined 250 games played, 191 starts and 6,556 minutes played.

Much of those numbers have been compiled together. Gaines and Mann have started together for 86 of Georgia's 96 contests since the beginning of the their sophomore year of 2013-14. All told, they have played 2,089 minutes and 33 seconds together at Georgia.

A Positive Breakout

Not that the media needs any self affirmation but the folks who predicted Yante Maten would be one of the nation's "breakout" players this season -- including those at CBS, NBC and SI -- are probably feeling pretty good.

Most expected Maten to up his contributions following the departure of senior frontcourt playing mates Nemanja Djurisic and Marcus Thornton.

He's done more than just that.

As a freshman a year ago, Maten averaged 5.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 18.2 minutes per game for the Bulldogs.

This season, Maten has more than tripled his scoring (16.0 ppg) and also has upped both his rebounding (8.0 rpg) and playing time (29.8 mpg) by massive chunks.

Maten has posted five career-high scoring outputs this season, including four in the first seven games. He improved from 13 points entering the year, to 17 points versus Chattanooga in the opener, to 21 points in back-to-back outings against Seton Hall and Oakland, and to 24 points versus Winthrop. Maten topped that mark with 25 points at Mississippi State on Feb. 13.

Maten's increased production can actually be traced back to last year's postseason. He notched his first double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds against South Carolina in the SEC Tourney.

That opened an active 33-game stretch in which Maten has recorded:
  • 27 of his 31 double-digit scoring outputs;
  • All 10 of his 20-point performances;
  • All 10 of his career double-figure rebounding efforts; and
  • All nine of his double-doubles.

J.J. Almost Everywhere In SEC Stats

J.J. Frazier is ranked among the Southeastern Conference's top-10 leaders in a league-high eight of 11 major statistical categories.

The 5-10, junior from Glennville, Ga., is currently No. 4 in steals (1.5), No. 5 in assist-to-TO ratio (2.6), No. 6 in scoring (16.8), No. 6 in 3-point percentage (.406), No. 7 in free throw percentage (.817), No. 8 in

3-pointers per game (2.4), No. 9 in assists (4.3) and No. 10 in minutes (32.0).

The only categories without Frazier listed are field goal percentage, rebounds and blocked shots.

Trailing Frazier and ranked in six top-10s are Stefan Moody of Ole Miss, Kevin Punter of Tennessee, Ben Simmons of LSU and Tyler Ulis of Kentucky.

Frazier Tabbed Top Georgia Player

J.J. Frazier has been named the state of Georgia's men's college basketball Player of the Year by the Atlanta Tipoff Club.

Frazier is the Bulldogs' eighth recipient of the state's top hoops honor. Vern Fleming was chosen in 1984, the initial year the award was given. Additional honorees include Jumaine Jones in 1999, Jarvis Hayes in both 2002 and 2003, Rashad Wright in 2004, Trey Thompkins in 2011 and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in 2013.

In addition to Frazier, Georgia's Joni Taylor was named the Whack Hyder Women's College Coach of the Year, Emory's Jason Zimmerman was named the Whack Hyder Men's College Coach of the Year and Georgia Tech's Aaliyah Whiteside was named the Women's College Player of the Year.

"These individuals are a huge part of the state of Georgia's continued tradition of athletic excellence," said Eric Oberman, executive director of the Tipoff Club. "Their contributions to the game of basketball and to their communities have been impressive. We're proud to honor these athletes and coaches who represent our state and sport so well."

The Atlanta Tipoff Club will recognize the recipients at the annual awards program on Sunday, March 13, 2016.

Frazier Cranks It Up After Half

J.J. Frazier has shown quite the penchant for second-half scoring, with four 20-point second-halves this season.

Frazier poured in 22 of his season-high 35 points against Georgia Tech -- UGA's most points ever against the Yellow Jackets -- after the break on Dec. 19. He also scored 21 points in the second stanzas of matchups against

Tennessee on Jan. 13 and at LSU on Jan. 26 and popped for 24 points following intermission at Auburn on Feb. 24.

Bulldogs In The BPI & RPI

Through games of March 10, Georgia was No. 53 in the ESPN's BPI and No. 67 in the NCAA's RPI.

The Bulldogs' strength of schedule, which was ranked as the nation's toughest in both ledgers for a good bit of December, is No. 13 in the BPI and No. 27 in the RPI.

Georgia's non-conference RPI was ranked No. 6.

Frazier 100 Assists, 50 3s Again

J.J. Frazier has 129 assists and 73 made 3-pointers, topping the century and half-century marks for the second consecutive year.

Last season, Frazier posted 104 assists and knocked down 50 3-pointers.

Frazier joins G.G. Smith as the only two Bulldogs to reach those milestones twice. All told, UGA players have accomplished that feat eight times as outlined below.

100 Assist, 50 "3" Bulldogs

2010-11 Dustin Ware 114 57
2014-15 J.J. Frazier 104 50
2015-16 J.J. Frazier 129 73

Injuries At An Inopportune Time

After a relatively injury-free preseason, the Bulldogs were bitten hard in the week of the season opener.

Following a Nov. 6 exhibition outing, freshman Derek Ogbeide (pronounced "Ohwg-Bay-Day") suffered a shoulder injury that kept him out of action for four weeks.

In addition, Juwan Parker, who started the first 14 games last season, has been held out of action since the exhibition due to soreness in his Achilles. Parker missed virtually the entire second half of last season due to that injury, which required offseason surgery.

The lateness of those changes forced Georgia to mix and match rotation combinations for much of the first several games.

Ogbeide Back, Making Big Strides

Following the aforementioned injury-induced detour, Derek Ogbeide (pronounced "Ohwg-Bay-Day") has shown progressed steadily during the season.

Ogbeide enjoyed an impressive unofficial debut in a Nov. 6 exhibition win over Armstrong State with a game-high 10 rebounds in 19 minutes of action. He then suffered a right shoulder injury in practice and missed Georgia's first five games.

Ogbeide finally made his official premiere against Kansas State, checking at the 17:27 mark of the first half versus the Wildcats and playing two minutes in the contest.

"He was just cleared today a little before 2 o'clock," Mark Fox said. "I just wanted to get him 45 seconds here and there just to get him to relax and so he'd been out there before."

The day before the Kansas State contest Fox was asked about what Georgia was missing without Ogbeide.

"He would allow us to impose our size and physicality on people" Fox said.

Ogbeide now is doing just that.

Ogbeide was No. 16 among league leaders in stats for conference games only at 5.9 rpg games...despite being the only player in the top-20 averaging less than 20.0 mpg.

Mann Breaks UGA FT Record

With his successful trip to the line at the 8:22 mark of the second half against South Carolina on Feb. 6, Charles Mann became Georgia's most prolific free throw shooter.

Mann broke Alec Kessler's UGA career record for free throw makes. In January, he broke Litterial Green's career attempts mark.

Mann also ranks among the SEC's top-10 in FTs and FTAs as outlined below.

More PT for KPG

Kenny Paul Geno entered the 2015-16 season with a career high of 21 minutes played against Missouri late last season.

This season, Geno is averaging 20.2 minutes of action per game.

The Booneville, Miss., native has matched or bettered his previous career-most MP in 13 games, including a career-best of 35 versus Chattanooga.

Mann Joins UGA Top-10 Assist List

Charles Mann moved into Georgia's all-time top-10 assists leaders during the Bulldogs' Jan. 23 victory over Arkansas.

Mann distributed five buckets-to-be against the Razorbacks to up his career total to 355.That tied Donald Hartry, who was a member of Georgia's 1983 NCAA Final Four and 1984 and 1986 NIT teams, for the No. 10 slot.

Mann enters the South Carolina game with 392 assists, seven shy of the current No. 7, Pertha Robinson and eight away from co-No. 5s Vern Fleming and Dustin Ware.
