The Opening Tip

The Opening Tip The Georgia Bulldogs will look to put a bow on the 2019 portion of their schedule on Monday when they host Austin Peay. Georgia is 7-0 at home to date this season and 13-1 in November-December games at Stegeman Coliseum during Tom Crean's two campaigns in Athens.

Georgia improved to 8-3 overall with last Monday's win over Georgia Southern. The Bulldogs trailed 42-35 early in the second half before rallying. Georgia connected on 20-of-23 second-half 2-point field attempts, an almost unfathomable 87.0 percent. Freshmen Anthony Edwards and Toumani Camara led the way with 23 and 16 points, respectively. Camara was a perfect 8-of-8 from the field en route to his career high.

The Bulldogs are averaging 82.5 points per game, which led the SEC and ranked No. 11 nationally through games of Saturday (Dec. 28).

Edwards, a preseason All-American and leading candidate for National Freshman of the Year accolades, paces Georgia in scoring at 19.7 ppg. He was the nation's top-scoring freshman and ranked No. 39 overall as of Sunday.

Series History

Georgia and Austin Peay are meeting for the first time ever. The Governors are one of four first-time foes on the Bulldogs' non-conference slate this season along with Chaminade, North Carolina Central and SMU.

Georgia is 12-1 all-time against team currently competing with Austin Peay in the Ohio Valley Conference. The last contest against an OVC foe supplied the Bulldogs with their first setback to a league member. Belmont bested Georgia, 93-84, in the first round of the 2017 NIT here in Athens.
 
Scouting The Eagles

Austin Peay is 6-6 to date, most recently securing an 80-69 win over Alabama State on Dec. 21. Injuries hindered the Govs' development in the early season. In fact, APSU only dressed out eight players against Alabama State.

"These guys need downtime," head coach Matt Figger said following the that contest. "They've got to get away from basketball, recharge, get healthy. We've got to be able to run a practice with 10 guys again."

Only three players have seen action in all 12 of Austin Peay's outings, and Terry Taylor is the only Governor to start every contest. Taylor's scoring average of 25.3 ppg ranked No. 4 nationally through games of Dec. 28.
 
Last Time Out...

Freshmen Anthony Edwards and Toumani Camara scored 23 and 16 points, respectively, to lead Georgia to a 73-64 win over Georgia Southern last Monday night.

The Bulldogs trailed by as many as seven points twice in the second half, lastly at 51-44 with 10:59 remaining. Georgia rallied largely due to connecting on 20-of-23 2-point field goal attempts in the second stanza.

A Jordan Harris 3-pointer ignited am 11-2 surge covering 2:11 that put the Bulldogs up 55-53. Georgia Southern briefly led twice after that point, but Georgia took the lead for good on a layup from Donnell Gresham Jr. at the 4:23 mark. The Bulldogs closed out the contest on a 14-4 surge.
 
Camara Perfect Against Eagles

Toumani Camara posted career-best efforts for points (16) and rebounds (7) in 32 minutes of action against Georgia Southern.

The freshman from Brussels, Belgium was 8-of-8 from the field in the contest. In the process, Camara became the first Bulldog to record a perfect effort from the field while making at least eight field goals since Jonas Hayes was 8-of-8 versus Florida A&M on Dec. 5, 2003.

Camara also became just the fourth player from a Power-5 conference this season to make every shot from the field while attempting eight or more field goals as outlined below.
 
Power-5 Perfection On FGs
FGs Player, School Opp. (Date)
9-9 Olivier Sarr, Wake Forest UNC Asheville (11/13)
8-8 Zeke Nnaji, Arizona San Jose St. (11/14)
8-8 Kofi Cockburn, Illinois Miami (12/2)
8-8 Toumani Camara, Georgia Ga. Southern (12/23)
 
Edwards, Wheeler Named SEC FOTW

Anthony Edwards and Sahvir Wheeler were named SEC Freshman of the Week on Dec. 1 and Dec. 23, respectively.

Edwards was selected by the league – and also was tabbed National Freshman of the Week by CBSsports.com – following the Maui Jim Maui Invitational. Most notably, he poured in 37 points against No. 3 Michigan State on Nov. 26, including a 33-point explosion in the second half.

Edwards' effort equaled the No. 11 single-game scoring tally in Georgia's history and represented the most points by a Bulldog freshman since Jacky Dorsey scored 41 versus LSU on Jan. 20, 1975.

Wheeler was honored after he scored layups in the final five seconds of both overtime periods of UGA's 87-85 double-OT win over SMU. He scored with four seconds remaining in the first overtime period to tie the score and extend the contest. In the second extra session, Wheeler's layup with 1.9 seconds left supplied Georgia with the victory.

Wheeler flirted with a double-double against the Mustangs, finishing the contest with nine points and eight assists. He equaled his career-high marks for assists (eight) and steals (two) in a career-most 35 minutes of PT.
 
Bulldogs Reversing Fortunes

Georgia improved to 3-0 in games decided by four points or less this season with its Dec. 20 double-OT victory over SMU.

That's a dramatic difference from a year ago when the Bulldogs were 0-6 in outings decided by four points or less. All six of those contests were to NCAA Tournament teams.

Georgia's non-conference effort in 2018-19 featured four- and two-point setbacks to Temple and Arizona State, respectively.

In SEC play, the Bulldogs dropped four consecutive extremely excruciating losses to LSU (83-79), Mississippi State (68-67), Ole Miss (72-71) and Auburn (78-75) between Feb 16-27. Some quick math would show you that those four league losses were by a combined nine points.
 
Bulldogs Scoring at Torrid Pace

Georgia is averaging 82.5 points per game, which led the SEC ranked No. 11 nationally as of Sunday (through games of Dec. 28).

Some additional nuggets contained within the Bulldogs' offensive production over the first nine outings of the season include:

• UGA had eight 90-point performances in Tom Crean's first 40 games in Athens. The Bulldogs reached the 90-point plateau just eight times in 249 games prior to Crean's arrival.

• UGA has three of the top-10 scoring outputs in the SEC this season – No. 4 (100 points vs. Delaware St.) and co-No. 7 (95 points vs. The Citadel and N.C. Central).

• UGA has four 90-point outputs in 11 games, 36.3 percent of its outings. The rest of the SEC had 15 90-point performances in 144 games (10.4 percent).

• Georgia already has four 90-point games...as many as the Bulldogs had in 32 games last season. FYI, the last time UGA had five 90-point outputs was the aforementioned 2005-06 campaign (when the Bulldogs had six), and the school record for 90-plus outings is eight during Georgia's run to the 1990 SEC Championship.

• UGA scored 91, 95 and 100 points in its first three games – the first time the Bulldogs scored 90 or more three times in a row since 2006. That season, the Bulldogs defeated Gardner-Webb, 96-67, on Dec. 2; No. 16 Gonzaga, 96-83, on Dec. 16; and Jacksonville, 93-77, on Dec. 19.
 
Some Individual Scoring Info

In addition to Georgia's point production as a team, Bulldogs have posted some significant individual scoring efforts to date.

• Anthony Edwards' 37 points against No. 3 Michigan State – the most by a UGA freshman in 45 seasons – included a 33-point second-half explosion against the Spartans.

• Six UGA players posted double-figure scoring outputs against The Citadel on Nov. 12 – a first since a Dec. 22, 2002, matchup against Appalachian State. Anthony Edwards had 29 points; Tyree Crump and Donnell Gresham Jr. added 13 apiece; and Rayshaun Hammonds, Amanze Ngumezi and Sahvir Wheeler each chipped in 10.

• Edwards' 24 points and Wheeler's 19 points in the season opener against Western Carolina represented the second- and third-best tallies ever by a UGA freshman in their collegiate debut.
 
Crump Joins, Approaches UGA Top 10s For 3-Point Takes, Makes

Tyree Crump ascended into Georgia's top-10 career leaders in 3-point field goal attempts at Arizona State. Crump inched past Kentavious Caldwell-Pope into the No. 10 slot.

The senior from Bainbridge is closing on the Bulldogs' top 10 for successful shots behind the arc as well. Crump has 152 3-pointers, 20 away from No. 10 Jody Patton as outlined below

Edwards, Wheeler Included Among NCAA's Freshman Leaders

Through games of Dec. 28, Georgia's Anthony Edwards and Sahvir Wheeler were ranked among the nation's top freshmen in scoring and assists as outlined below and on the next page.

Edwards' average of 19.7 ppg was tops among freshmen players and one of just six first-year featured in the top 100.

Wheeler's average of 5.1 assists per game was fifth-best among the nation's freshmen.
 
Top Freshman Scoring Averages
Rk. Player, school GP Avg.

51. Cole Anthony, N. Carolina 9 19.1
60. Landers Nolley, Va. Tech 10 18.6
63. Vernon Carey, Duke 10 18.5
96. Onyeka Okongwu, USC 10 17.4
97. Jordan Dingle, Penn 8 17.4
 
Wheeler Logging PT Off Bench

Freshman Sahvir Wheeler is averaging 26.5 minutes per game, the second-highest average of any Bulldog despite coming off the bench in every game to date.

Wheeler has logged 20-plus minutes in every game but a blowout win over Delaware State, when he played 18 minutes. His season highs are 35 MP in the double-OT outing against SMU...and 32 against Georgia Southern for a regulation contest.
 
The Collegiate Canine Strikes

All of graduate transfer Donnell Gresham Jr.'s career-high statistical performances came from his 90 games played during four seasons at Northeastern...until the Georgia Tech game on Nov. 20.

Gresham connected on 11-of-13 trips to the free throw line against the Jackets, topping his previous marks.

Gresham scored 13 points versus Tech, his second double-digit output as a Bulldog and his 31st as a collegiate canine. The Saint Paul, Minn., native notched 29 double-digit scoring performances in his four seasons as a different breed of dog – a Northeastern Husky.
 
Feel Free To Call Him "Ty-3"

Tyree Crump continued a familiar theme to his scoring this season, with 25 of his 35 made field goals (71.4 percent) coming from behind the 3-point arc.

More than two-thirds of Crump's made shots from the floor at UGA have come on shots from 3-point range. Crump has knocked down 152 3-pointers in his three-plus seasons in Athens. That accounts for 69.1 percent of his 220 made field goals at Georgia.
 
Fagan Posts Career highs

Tye Fagan has notched career-high scoring outputs twice this season.

The sophomore from Logtown paced Georgia with a career-most 15 minutes at Arizona State. Fagan did most of his damage in the second half. After posting four points in nine first-half minutes, he put up 11 points in 10 minutes of action following the intermission.

Fagan recorded his first double-digit scoring output as a Bulldog with 11 points against Dayton in the opening round of the Maui Jim Maui Invitational. He did so in an extremely efficient fashion, connecting on 5-of-5 shots from the field against the Flyers, including his only 3-point attempt on the day.

Before that, Fagan's top offensive performances as a Bulldog were early last season. He notched eight points in three of the first four games of his freshman year – against Temple, Sam Houston State and Illinois State.
 
Hammonds Hot Early, Often Against Hornets & Jackets

Rayshaun Hammonds poured in 26 points in back-to-back games against Delaware State on Nov. 15 and Georgia Tech on Nov. 20.

Hammonds was hot from the get-go in both outings. He scored 17 first-half points versus the Hornets and followed that with 19 before intermission against the Jackets. Hammonds was a combined 15-of-20 (75.0 percent) from the field on those first halves.
 
Fans Flocking To Stegeman

The Stegeman Coliseum turnstiles have been quite busy since Tom Crean's arrival.

Last season, the Bulldogs drew 148,700 fans to break their total attendance record by more than 9,000 fans, and Georgia notched its fourth-best average attendance mark ever as outlined below.
 
UGA Average Attendance
Rk. Season Games Avg.
1. 2002-03 13 9,857
2. 2001-02 13 9,064
3. 1990-91 12 8,822
4. 2018-19 17 8,747
5. 1981-82 14 8,670
on pace for... 2019-20 7 9,093


This season, a combined 63,653 members of the Bulldog Nation have attended Georgia's first seven home dates, the third-largest tally for the initial seven outings in program history.

The Bulldogs' best first seven-game home attendance mark to begin a season was in 2002-03 when Georgia welcomed a total of 65,008 spectators to Stegeman. The No. 2 mark is 64,548 in 1981-82, Dominique Wilkins' third and final season at UGA.

Season and single-game tickets have moved at a record pace this season.

For the first time ever, Georgia sold out the season ticket allotment for Stegeman, Crean announced during Stegmania II on Oct. 11.

Six of Georgia's nine SEC home dates are now sold out.

Outings against Texas A&M and Alabama officially became sellouts on Oct. 24, the first day single-game tickets went on sale. Since then, the Kentucky, Ole Miss, Arkansas and Florida games also have sold out. The only matchups on the 2020 calendar with tickets remaining are mid-week contests against Tennessee, South Carolina and Auburn.
 
Dogs' Freshmen Among UGA's Best

Georgia's recruiting class was consistently ranked among the nation's top-10 groups – No. 5 by ESPN.com, No. 6 by rivals.com and No. 10 by 247Sports.com.

Headlining the class is Anthony Edwards. The Atlanta native, who tabbed the nation's best prospect by some, announced his commitment on national television on Feb. 11. He is the Bulldogs' highest rated recruit ever.

Dominique Wilkins was the most hyped recruit in Georgia history in 1979. Individual rankings for that class are believed to be unavailable. It also featured future stars such as Ralph Sampson, Isiah Thomas, James Worthy, Clark Kellogg and Sam Bowie.

In the internet age, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is the highest ranked player in the 247Sports.com composite to enroll at UGA at No. 12 in 2011. Louis Williams signed with the Bulldogs as the No. 6 prospect in the 2005 composite but opted to enter the NBA Draft.

The Bulldogs' highest recruiting class ever was a quintet listed at No. 2 in 1992 when UGA inked four of the nation's top-100 prospects – Shandon Anderson, Terrell Bell, Pertha Robinson and McDonald's All-American Carlos Strong – in the fall. Georgia then added Cleveland Jackson, the national Junior College Player of the Year, in the spring signing period.

Additional top classes at Georgia include those in 1979 and 1980 which featured four McDonald's All-Americans between them. The Bulldogs signed Wilkins and Terry Fair in 1979 and followed that with Vern Fleming and James Banks a year later.
 
UGA's Freshman Class Also Among the nation's Largest

The Bulldogs' class of nine freshmen ranks as the third-largest in Division-I hoops for the 2019-20 season. Navy, TCU and Utah sport a nation-leading 11 freshmen on their rosters. Air Force has 10 freshmen. In addition to Georgia, Louisville has nine freshmen.

On this list, "freshman" is defined as a player who is a freshman eligibility wise who is competing at that school for the first time this season...so there are some redshirts.
 
A Historic String Of Success

The Bulldogs' five-game winning streak over Georgia Tech marks only the fifth time in 196 meetings that Georgia has captured five consecutive victories over the Yellow Jackets on the hardwood.

The Bulldogs' longest streak in the series is seven consecutive wins twice in spans from 1908-21 and 1980-85. The second-longest is five games three times, covering 1929-31 and 1939-41 and the current 2015-19 stretch.

The past two seasons have provided signature moments for Georgia's four-year seniors.

Prior to last December, only four four-year letterwinners for the Bulldogs finished their careers with a perfect record against Tech – James Banks, Vern Fleming, Richard Corhen and Gerald Crosby.

That fraternity more than doubled when Mike Edwards, Turtle Jackson, Derek Ogbeide, Connor O'Neill and E'Torrion Wilridge joined the fold at McCamish Pavilion last year and added two more brothers in 2019 in Tyree Crump and Jordan Harris.

It should be noted that UGA and GT played two or more times every season from 1924-82. Since then, they have met once per year, making an undefeated run a little less taxing.
 
Dogs Dish Against Delaware State

Georgia recorded 30 assists on the Bulldogs' 40 made baskets in their 100-66 win over Delaware State on Nov. 15. That was UGA's most assists since the Bulldogs had 32 against S.C. State on Nov. 21, 2006.
 
Earliest. Opener. Ever.

The Bulldogs' Nov. 5 contest against Western Carolina was the earliest opening contest in Georgia's 115 seasons of basketball. The previous mark for an initial outing was against Wofford on Nov. 8, 2013.
 
Edwards, Wheeler Star In Debut

Anthony Edwards and Sahvir Wheeler poured in 24 and 19 points, respectively, in the season opener against Western Carolina on Nov. 5. Those tallies represent the second- and third-most points ever by a freshman in their first game in a Bulldog uniform as outlined below.

Edwards came within a bucket of Dominique Wilkins' school record against Troy on Nov. 30, 1979.

Since NCAA rules change to allow freshmen to compete in basketball beginning with the 1972-73 season, 23 Bulldogs have scored in double figures during their first collegiate contest at UGA.

ore On Edwards' Opener

M Anthony Edwards' 24 points versus Western Carolina were the most by a Bulldog in an opener in nearly two decades – since Ezra Williams' 26 points against Furman on Nov. 16, 2001.
 
Bulldogs' Schedule Is Maddening

Georgia's 31-game regular-season slate includes 14 games against teams featured in the last preseason edition of ESPN.com's Bracketology released on Nov. 4.

In Athens, Georgia will entertain Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia Southern, Kentucky, N.C. Central and Tennessee.

The Bulldogs met Dayton and Michigan State in the Maui Jim Maui Invitational and will play road games at Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, LSU and Memphis.
 
"B" Is For Basketball Player

You may notice on Georgia's roster that the Bulldogs have gone away from listing traditional basketball positions – guard, forward and center.

All 15 Bulldogs are now simply listed as "B" for their position..."Basketball Player." Tom Crean is a proponent for "position-less basketball."

"That's what they are," Crean said. "It's not valid to call them centers and forwards and things like that with the way that we're trying to play. They're being trained as basketball players, every day. If you came out there to practice (6-11) Rodney Howard, a lot of times is doing the same things that (5-10) Sahvir Wheeler's doing in the sense of how we train ball handling, driving, shooting...all those type of things. That's what we're recruiting. We're recruiting basketball players."
 
Georgia Inks Four Standouts

Georgia signed four standouts to letters-of-intent during the NCAA's signing period, Tom Crean announced on Nov. 18.

The class was listed at No. 24 nationally in the 247Sports.com composite rankings.

Two in-state prep prospects – Kadarius "K.D." Johnson from Decatur and Josh Taylor from Norcross – and a pair of Eastern Florida State College teammates – Jonathan Ned and Mikal Starks – will play for the Bulldogs beginning next season.

Taylor (6-8, 200 pounds) is rated as a four-star prospect by 247Sports.com and rivals.com. In national rankings, he has been tabbed as the No. 118 recruit by 247Sports.com, as well as No. 124 by rivals.com and the No. 144 in the 247Sports.com composite.

Ned and Starks are teammates at EFSC in Melbourne, Fla. The 247Sports.com composite lists Starks as the No. 4 junior college prospect in the nation and Ned at No. 7.

Ned (6-9, 205) is originally from Brentwood, Calif. As a freshman at Eastern Florida State, he averaged 9.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. Ned was a standout at Heritage High, where he finished second on the school's all-time scoring list and was twice named the All-Bay Valley Athletic League's MVP.

Starks (6-0, 175 pounds), is from Miami, Fla., and averaged 5.1 points and 2.8 assists as a freshman at Eastern Florida State. He is a product of Palmetto High, where he led the Panthers their first-ever Greater Miami Athletic Conference (GMAC) title in 2018.

Johnson (6-1, 180) played at Southwest DeKalb High for the past three years and is at Hargrave Military Academy as a senior. He is rated as a four-star recruit by both 247Sports.com and rivals.com and ranked as the nation's No. 78 and No. 90 prospect overall, respectively, by those services.
