It is rare to use a baseball reference in an article on basketball, but in the midst of four games, a losing series, Mike White’s team desperately in search of a new identity and spark. So White knew she needed a crooked ball to help bring Georgia’s basketball to the track.
Given his team’s answer in their win, 71-60 over South Carolina Gamecocks on Tuesday night in Athens, Georgia, it seems that White was throwing a strike.
A major change in the starting composition
First came a change in the starting lineup. White exchanged Dakota Lefev on the site of Tyrone Lawrence, who was a Bulldog starter throughout the season. Leffw replied with a monstrous 14 points (2/4 3 PT), 4 assists and three thefts.
The next major change came the bench, as White knew that he also needed a new spark from his reserve copies. And he found that Spark in sophomore Swingman Dylan James, who played a 21 -minute season against South Carolina. James played his most complete game for the season, scoring 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks.
“I’m just trying to keep the arrangement days,” James told the SEC network after the victory. “And when the opportunity comes, I just try to take advantage. My coaches trusted me. My teammates trusted me. My fans trusted. And I just did what I do. “
Georgia finished the night, shooting 51 percent of the floor (26-51) and 47 percent of the three-point range (7-15), which was their best three-point display for the season. The seven made triphoners also tied the Georgia season in the triplets, made in the game.
After redirecting the deck, White hits this game is the new Bulldogs Norma. With 10 conference games left in the schedule, hope is the actions taken last night serve as a catalyst for a strong finish until the season.
Aim for this strong finale on Saturday when the bulldogs travel to Tuscalusa to take No. 4 Alabama.
