I got to thinking: when's the last time Georgia actually played well?
It's an important question, because the pattern with Mark Fox teams has been to start ugly and finish strong. With the Bulldogs fading fast, it looks like they're going to buck that trend in a big way.
The answer, it turns out, is January 27th at home against Vanderbilt. Georgia capped off a 5-game winning streak with a 70-62 win over the Commodores. What else happened in that game? This:
It doesn't look like much, but that was the flagrant foul that sent Marcus Thornton to the bench for two games with a concussion. Since then, Georgia is 2-4 and has only scored over 60 points twice (once in a loss).
The injuries have been bad, but it looks like the whole season may have turned on that one play.
