Another week, another injury

The hits keep on coming:
A worried Mark Fox said Tuesday night that his Georgia men's basketball team needed to get some players back. Instead it appears the team is losing another player, and a very key one.
Leading scorer and rebounder Marcus Thornton is likely out for Saturday's game at South Carolina because of a concussion, according to a source. Thornton sustained the injury when he was fouled during the first half of Tuesday's win over Vanderbilt.

That's a big one.

The scoring, in this case, worries me less than the rebounding as South Carolina rebounds the ball pretty well.  Hopefully it's just one game and the Bulldogs can, once again, find a way.  Yante Maten, you're up.

If this team does make the tournament, an often maligned Mark Fox is going to deserve a lot of credit for holding things together.
