The Opening Tip

Georgia returns to the road on Wednesday evening when the Bulldogs venture to Baton Rouge to face SEC-leading LSU.

Series History With The Tigers

LSU enters Wednesday's matchup with a 64-47 advantage in the all-time series between the Bulldogs and the Tigers, including a 35-15 mark in Baton Rouge.

A year ago, Georgia swept both ends of a home-and-home series, securing a 61-60 win in Baton Rouge in January and then posting a 93-82 victory in Athens in February.

Up Next: Texas Comes To Challenge

The Bulldogs will return to Stegeman Coliseum this weekend to host Texas in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. The game has been a sellout since October 26, with 2,000 student tickets all that remains available.

Welcome To The League, Coach

Tom Crean's initiation into the SEC would probably be considered hazing by some.

Georgia began league play with six consecutive outings against teams that entered SEC competition ranked in the top-50 of the new NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) rankings.

In the Jan. 5 edition of the NET, the Bulldogs' first half-dozen SEC foes were ranked, in succession, as No. 7 Tennessee, No. 45 Vanderbilt, No. 18 Auburn, No. 10 Kentucky, No. 33 Florida and No. 27 LSU.

Most of those NET rankings have held relatively true through the first couple of weeks of SEC action.

Entering this week, those six teams were listed in the NET as No. 4 Tennessee, No. 91 Vanderbilt, No. 23 Auburn, No. 8 Kentucky, No. 35 Florida and No. 14 LSU.

The average of Georgia's SEC opponents through this week's midweeks outings is considerably tougher than any other league team. The Bulldogs' opponents in that stretch averaged a NET ranking of 29.2. The next closest average was 39.7 for Alabama.

For good measure, Georgia's next outing also will be against a top-50 NET foe. The Bulldogs host Texas, which was No. 49 in the Jan. 5 NET and was No. 44 on Monday, in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge on Saturday.

Dogs' Sellout Count Climbs To 7

The Tom Crean regime has established impressive attendance records with seven sellouts already on the books.

On Oct. 24, Georgia announced sellouts for the Florida and Kentucky games, the earliest sellout(s) in the Bulldogs' history.

Two days later, the Texas contest also sold out. Prior to this year, Georgia never had more than one preseason sellout.

In early December, dates with LSU, South Carolina and Ole Miss also sold out.

The Bulldogs then wrapped up 2018 with a capacity crowd against UMass on Dec. 30.

The last time the Bulldogs had seven sellouts was in 2002-03 when they hosted nine capacity crowds.

It should be noted that the 2,000 free seats reserved for UGA's student body must be filled at the games that are already "sellouts" to have capacity crowds of 10,523 at Stegeman Coliseum

A Historic Opener

Georgia christened both the 2018-19 campaign and the Tom Crean era with an impressive evening on and off the court.

The Bulldogs secured a 110-76 victory over Savannah State on Nov. 9, Georgia's most points in the 2000s.

The last time the Bulldogs scored more than 110 points was in a 113-74 victory over Grambling on Nov. 27, 1999, at the Great Alaska Shootout.

A crowd of 9,018 fans flocked to the Savannah State game, the biggest turnout for a home opener since Stegeman's capacity became 10,523 in 1994.

To find a larger crowd for the Bulldogs' home opener you have to go back 37 seasons...all the way to Dominique Wilkins' sophomore year in Athens. That season, a capacity crowd of 11,200 was on hand as Georgia topped arch rival Georgia Tech, 62-61, on Dec. 5, 1981.

"First things first, I want to say thank you to everybody who was here for this," Crean said. "This is largest crowd on an opening night since they redid Stegeman Coliseum, and it was fun. It was fun to see the enthusiasm that people have had turn into bodies and live energy and loud fans tonight. That was tremendous. I want to say that first and foremost."

Georgia Visits LSU In Baton Rouge

The Georgia Bulldogs will travel to the Bayou on Wednesday to face league-leading LSU at the Maravich Assembly Center.

The Bulldogs arrive in Baton Rouge with a 9-8 overall record and a 1-4 mark in SEC play.

Georgia has faced far and away the toughest league schedule to date. The average NCAA NET ranking of the Bulldogs' first six SEC opponents is 29.2...the next closest average is Alabama at 39.7.

Sophomores Rayshaun Hammonds and Nicolas Claxton lead the Bulldogs.

Hammonds averages a team-high 12.9 ppg. Among SEC statistical leaders, he is No. 5 in free throw percentage (.839) and No. 12 in rebounds (6.5 rpg).

Claxton has been a "do-it-all" contributor for the Bulldogs. He is scoring 12.4 ppg and leads the league in both rebounding (9.6 rpg) and blocks (3.1 bpg). Claxton also paces Georgia in assists (35) and steals (22).

Tyree Crump comes off the bench to provide another double-digit scorer at 10.1 ppg.

LSU is 14-3 overall and 4-0 in the SEC. The Tigers are in the midst of a seven-game winning streak.

Tremont Waters tops a quartet of double-figure scorers for LSU at 13.5 ppg. He also leads the SEC in steals at 2.9 spg.

In addition, Naz Reid is adding 13.1 ppg, Skylar Mays is contributing 12.9 ppg and Ja'vonte Smart is chipping in 10.4 ppg.

Series History With The Tigers

LSU owns a 64-47 lead all-time in matchups between the Bulldogs and the Tigers, including a 35-15 advantage in Baton Rouge.

Last season, Georgia swept both ends of a home-and-home series, winning a thriller in Baton Rouge and then producing a season-high offensive output in the rematch at Stegeman Coliseum.

Last Feb. 24 in Athens, Yante Maten and Derek Ogbeide notched double-doubles, and Rayshaun Hammonds added a career-high 21 points to lead Georgia in an 93-82 win over LSU before a sellout crowd at Stegeman.

The Bulldogs put their most first- and second-half points of 2017-18, scoring 45 and 48 in each respective period.

Georgia methodically expanded an early lead to a 45-34 at halftime, finishing the period on a spectacular buzzer-beating tap-in by Ogbeide. The Bulldogs pushed the margin to 56-34 less than three minutes into the second half and maintained a double-digit edge for all but one second the rest of the way.

Maten's afternoon carried historic implications. With 27 points, he ascended from No. 4 to No. 2 among Georgia's career scoring leaders. Maten passed Vern Fleming, with 1,777 points in 125 games, and Alec Kessler, with 1,788 points in 123 games.

In the Bulldogs' trip to Baton Rouge on Jan. 16 a year ago, Maten also was the hero. His bucket with 5.7 seconds remaining lifted Georgia to a 61-60 victory at LSU.

The Bulldogs rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit. Georgia opened the second stanza on a 14-3 run to grab a 38-37 lead with 14:24 remaining.

The back-and-forth second half featured five ties and 13 lead changes, including three in the final minute. Georgia took a 59-58 lead on a Juwan Parker 3-pointer with 57 seconds left, but LSU responded with a Duop Reath baseline jumper at the 41-second mark to go back on top.

Parker's offensive rebound with 23 seconds left set up Maten's game-winner.

Tremont Waters missed a long 3-pointer with two seconds on the clock, and time expired before either team secured the rebound.

Last Time Out...

Florida withstood a furious second-half rally from Georgia en route to a 62-52 victory at Stegeman Coliseum last Saturday.

The Gators built a 33-23 halftime lead, largely due to connecting on 7-of-13 shots from 3-point range during the period.

Georgia opened the second half with an 8-0 surge and then eventually tied the game at 40-40 on a Teshaun Hightower 3-pointer at the 15:40 mark.

The Bulldogs' momentum continued as Georgia built a 48-43 advantage with just under 10 minutes remaining. The Gators regained control by scoring the next dozen points and not allowing the Bulldogs closer than five points the rest of the way.

Bulldogs Are Shot Swatters

Georgia opened the season with 10 blocks against Savannah State and has ranked among the nation's top shot-blocking teams throughout the season.

Entering this week, Georgia led the SEC and ranked No. 3 nationally by averaging 6.1 rejections per game.

Individually, Nicolas Claxton led the league and ranked No. 5 nationally at 3.1 bpg through games of Jan. 20. In fact, Claxton's per game average was more than 153 Division I teams as a whole.

Harris Earns Start Vs. Gators

Junior Jordan Harris secured his initial start of the season – and his first nod since his freshman year – for Georgia's game against Florida on Jan. 19.

Harris responded with a team-high 10 points in a season-most 31 minutes of playing time versus the Gators.

Prior to the Florida contest, Harris produced career-high rebounding numbers in each of Georgia's previous two games. He collected six boards at No. 11 Auburn, matching his previous best effort against Alabama on Jan. 6 last season, and then secured seven rebounds against No. 12 Kentucky.

The Florida game was Harris' first start since doing so against Alabama on Jan. 25, 2017. Harris started 12 games as a freshman, including each of Georgia's first eight SEC outings that season.

Dogs' Depth Paying Dividends

Georgia's bench has outscored its counterparts 12 times...usually by a relatively significant amount.

The Bulldogs' reserves have been +10 or more in nine outings, helping Georgia to a +159 scoring margin on bench points.

The Deflection Objective

The deflection is an extremely key statistic for Georgia. Head coach Tom Crean regularly discusses the deflection and its significance.

"I was told a long time ago – and I don't think you can say it any better – deflections are barometer of active defense. It's any type of activity on the ball. It's a finger tip, a hand, blocked shots, chargers, a steal. That's what we're aiming for. I want our team at a deflection-to-turnover ratio of 3.5-to-1. To me, that is an optimal number."

"You will hear me talk a lot about it," Crean said in his press session following the Sam Houston State game. "Some of you will get tired of it, and some of you will buy into it."

The quote above gives a definition of the stat. The Bulldogs' season totals to date are below. Nicolas Claxton leads the team, including 18 deflections against Sam Houston State.

"I have only coached four other guys, and all four of them played in the NBA, that ever had more than 18 in a game," Crean said.

UGA Deflections
Player	Number
Nicolas Claxton	159
Rayshaun Hammonds	57
Teshaun Hightower	54
Turtle Jackson	43
E'Torrion Wilridge	43
Jordan Harris	42
Tyree Crump	39
Derek Ogbeide	39
Tye Fagan	35
Ignas Sargiunas	14
Amanze Ngumezi	12
JoJo Toppin	9
Christian Harrison	6
Connor O'Neill	2
Mike Edwards	1

Claxton Doing It All For Dogs

Nicolas Claxton is the only player in the SEC this season to – in the same game – lead his team in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals...and he's done so twice.

Claxton did so Nov. 27 against Kennesaw State with 16 points, 15 boards, four assists, two blocks and two steals. He repeated the feat Dec. 18 versus Oakland with 17 points, 13 boards, three assists, three blocks and a steal.

The last SEC player to lead his team in all five stats in multiple games in the same season was LSU's Ben Simmons, who did so three times during the 2015-16 campaign.

Claxton Joins Top-10 Swatters

Nicolas Claxton's tally of 53 blocks this season already ranks among the top-10 single-season efforts in Georgia history.

Claxton is chasing a familiar name on that list...his father Charles as outlined below.

UGA Season Blocks Leaders
Rk.	No.	Player	Seasons	GP
1.	94	Charles Claxton	1995	28
2.	91	Richard Corhen	1984	30
3.	88	Lavon Mercer	1977	27
4.	83	Terrell Bell	1996	31
5.	76	Lavon Mercer	1980	27
6.	61	Yante Maten	2016	34
7.	60	Antonio Harvey	1991	29
8.	58	Charles Claxton	1994	30
9.	56	Lavon Mercer	1979	25
10.	53	Nicolas Claxton	2019	17

Feel Free To Call Him "Ty-3" Crump

Tyree Crump has scored nearly two-thirds of his points as a Bulldog on successful shots from 20-feet, 9-inches away from the basket...and beyond.

With a 34 3-pointers this season and 97 for his career, 3-point field goals directly account for 61.6 percent (291 of 472) points at UGA.

Overall, 66.9 percent (97-of-145) of Crump's made shots from the floor for Georgia have been from behind the arc.

Ogbeide Among Best Boarders

Derek Ogbeide began his senior season with 614 rebounds and ranked No. 17 among the Bulldogs career leaders.

Ogbeide joined UGA's top-10 during the Vanderbilt victory and is 21 boards shy of the No. 9 mark

Hammonds Bounces Back

Rayshaun Hammonds rebounded from a scoreless outing at No. 3 Tennessee in the SEC opener to put up a game-high 19 points against Vanderbilt.

It took Hammonds a while to get going, though. He was held scoreless in the first half, missing all four of his shots from the floor including three 3-point attempts.

Hammonds hit a 3-pointer 14 seconds in to the second half and eventually scored a dozen points in the first 7:24 of the period.

Tom Crean asked for more from Hammonds at the half.

"It was quick," Crean said. "It wasn't bad. It wasn't in my top-100 challenges. I've had a few. It was mild, but again, it's like, 'We need more. This isn't good enough.' He comes out in the second half and bangs that first shot, looks good doing it. It's important. He has another gear in him. It's our job to keep pulling it out of him."

Hammonds showed the ability to bounce back from rough outings last season. He went scoreless nine times as a freshman but then followed five of those games with a double-digit performance.

Ogbeide Enjoys Fruitful Stretch

Derek Ogbeide enjoyed most productive offensive three-game stretch of his career against UMass, Tennessee and Vanderbilt.

Ogbeide put up 12 points against the Minutemen, a season-high 17 in Knoxville and 15 versus Vanderbilt...an average of 14.7 ppg while shooting 62.4 percent from the floor.

That marked the second time Ogbeide has had three-straight double-digit outings. He averaged 11.3 ppg while connecting on 58.3 percent of his field goal attempts against LSU, Auburn and Arkansas in the final three regular-season games of 2016-17.

Claxton Named SEC POTW

Nicolas Claxton was tabbed the SEC Player of the Week on Dec. 31, a day after his game-high tallies of 20 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks against UMass.

Claxton recorded his sixth double-double of the season while connecting on 8-of-13 shots from the field and converting on 3-of-3 trips to the line versus the Minutemen. He grabbed 10 defensive rebounds, one less than the UMass entire roster grabbed as a whole on that end of the floor.

Maten Earns G League Honor

Yante Maten, the 2018 AP SEC Player of the Year for Georgia, enjoyed a very productive month of December.

Maten, a two-way player with the Miami Heat and the Sioux Falls Skyforce, was named NBA G League Player of the Month. In nine games, he averaged 29.2 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 blocks per game while shooting 59.0 percent from the field, 47.4 percent from 3-point range and 80.3 percent from the line. Maten's month was highlighted by a 42-point, 14-rebound performance against Stockton, one of his seven December double-doubles.

"I'm definitely enjoying my time in Sioux Falls," Maten said. "I'm being used a lot. I'm trying to make the best out of every opportunity and every game. I'm just exited to come out and prove a point every night."

Perfect Against "The Enemy"

With its 70-59 win over Georgia Tech on Dec. 22 at McCamish Pavilion, Georgia's Class of 2019 secured a unique spot in the Bulldogs' history.

In the first 113 seasons of Georgia Basketball, only four, four-year Bulldogs finished their careers undefeated against the Yellow Jackets – the tandems of James Banks and Vern Fleming (1980-84) and Richard Corhen and Gerald Crosby (1981-85).

That number more than doubled with this year's victory as Mike Edwards, Turtle Jackson, Connor O'Neill, Derek Ogbeide and E'Torrion Wilridge joined that quartet. Christian Harrison also went undefeated against Tech, but only played two seasons in Athens after transferring from Troy. Those Bulldogs not only won each game, the did so by double figures. The last time Georgia posted four-consecutive double-digit wins over the Jackets was a stretch covering the 1908-09 through 1913-14 seasons

To adhere to "truth in advertising" principles...it should be noted that UGA and GT played at least twice each season from the beginning of the series through 1981-82.

Hammonds Puts Up Rare Stat Line

Rayshaun Hammonds poured in a career-high 31 points while not turning the ball over once versus Illinois State.

Hammonds is the only SEC player this season to put up 30 points with no turnovers. Only two SEC players did so last season – Vanderbilt's Jeff Roberson and Terence Davis from Ole Miss.

Hammonds, Yante Maten and Jumaine Jones are the only Bulldogs to do so in the last 20 seasons as outlined below.

30 Points, 0 Turnovers
Player	Points	Opponent (Date)
R. Hammonds	31	Illinois State (11/19/18)
Y. Maten	30	Charleston Southern (12/17/16)
Y. Maten	30	Kansas (11/22/16)
J. Jones	34	Kentucky (1/26/99)

Career-High Outings Against ISU

Rayshaun Hammonds and Nicolas Claxton exploded for career-high outputs of 31 and 22 points, respectively, against Illinois State.

Hammonds scored 31 points in 31 minutes. He scored 18 first-half points, almost topped his previous best effort of 21 points before intermission. Claxton did much of his damage after the break with 14 second-half points.

Excitement Surrounds Bulldogs

Tom Crean was hired as the Bulldogs' head coach on March 15 and created an off-season buzz surrounding Georgia Basketball that it hasn't been seen since Dominique Wilkins' days in Athens during the early-80s.

Before this season, Georgia had never sold out more than one game before its opener.

This fall, the Bulldogs had three sellouts – Florida, Kentucky and Texas – in October.

In addition, the number of contributors and the amount donated to UGA's Basketball Enhancement Fund (BEF) set records by considerable margins. The BEF tally topped $1 million for the first time ever and as of Nov. 7 had bettered the previous watermark by just shy of 25 percent.

UGA Loaded With Peach Products

Nearly three-fourths of Georgia's roster played high school hoops in the Peach State. Eleven of 15 Bulldogs – that's 73.3 percent to be exact – did so.

The list includes: seniors Christian Harrison (Woodward Academy), William "Turtle" Jackson (Athens Christian School), Connor O'Neill (Blessed Trinity Catholic High) and Derek Ogbeide (Pebblebrook High); juniors Tyree Crump (Bainbridge High) and Jordan Harris (Seminole County High); sophomores Rayshaun Hammonds (Norcross High) and Teshaun Hightower (Collins Hills High); and freshmen Tye Fagan (Upson-Lee High); Amanze Ngumezi (Johnson High) and JoJo Toppin (Norcross High).

Fagan Owns Unique Record

The first recruit to commit to Tom Crean at Georgia certainly brought a winning résumé.

Spring signee Tye Fagan helped Upson-Lee High School to back-to-back state titles and 63 consecutive victories as a junior and senior. The Knights' effort represents the third-longest winning streak in Georgia boys' high school hoops history.

"Any time you add a championship-winning player and person to your program, it's great," Crean said. "But I can't recall ever signing anyone that was 63-0. That's unique."

Georgia's loss at Temple on Nov. 13 represented Fagan's first setback representing his school since an Upson-Lee setback to New Hampstead on Feb. 17, 2016 in the first round of the 2016 state tournament...providing a span of exactly 1000 days between those losses.

Inaugural StegMania A Success

Tom Crean arrived in Athens with a distinct vision. One thing he wanted to create was an preseason event to display the new energy and enthusiasm around Georgia Basketball.

On Friday, Oct. 5, the first-ever StegMania drew a crowd of more than 5,000. It was, by all measures, a significant success.

UGA students lined up around the Coliseum to receive commemorative "StegMania" t-shirts. A lengthy autograph session with a distinct family feel wrapped up the festivities.

StegMania itself was packed with pyrotechnic player intros, a high-flying dunk contest, a dance battle with the Georgia Lady Bulldogs, an impromptu performance of the hit song "Rolex" by hip-hop artists Ayo & Teo and a scrimmage with Crean "mic'd up."

"When you're brand new coming into something like this, you really don't have an expectation," said Crean after the event. "But if I would've had one, it would have exceeded it. When I saw people in line to get into the Coliseum, I got a lump in my throat. It was awesome because you never take it for granted. Hopefully, everyone walks out of here knowing that they matter."

The Leftiest Lads In The Land

The Bulldogs' roster features six – count 'em on two hands – left-handed players. Georgia's southpaws include Nicolas Claxton, Tye Fagan, Rayshaun Hammonds, Jordan Harris, Derek Ogbeide and JoJo Toppin.

We're relatively confident that tally is the most any NCAA Division I basketball team will suit up during 2018-19.

During the summer months, J.D. Hamilton of the NCAA sends out a laundry list of questions to the nation's Division I men's basketball SIDs. The inquiries can range from statistical – what school has the most 2,000-point scorers – to staff – who has the nation's most experienced coaching staff – to roster related – who has the most newcomers.

Round 1 of the email on September 5 including the following offering from Athens: "Georgia has six left-handed players. Does any other team in the country have as many or more players who are left-handed?"

Not that SIDs are bound to answer every request, but that question received no replies. So, the ask was modified for a second email correspondence sent out by Hamilton on September 26 to read: "Georgia has six left-handed players. Does any other team in the country have as four or more players who are left-handed?"

That led to Tennessee (D.J. Burns, John Fulkerson, Jalen Johnson and Yves Pons), Washington (David Crisp, Elijah Hardy, Bryan Penn-Johnson and Nate Roberts) and Winthrop (Adam Pickett, Jermaine Ukaegbu, Kyle Zunic and Raivis Scerbinskis) supplying lists of four.

While nothing is official, Georgia will claim the unofficial title of the leftiest team in America until proven otherwise.

And for full effect, the above headline should be read in a voice immitating Dan Magill, the greatest Bulldog of all time. If you're not familiar with Coach Magill, ask.
