Same Song New Verse

Dawgs lost by 18 at Ole Miss. There's no shame in getting beat on the road. Scoring four points in the first 13 or so minutes of the second half with your entire season on the line...geez.

-- 10 minutes with no field goals doom Dawgs - AJC

From the AJC:
It wasn't just the 67-49 final score. It was the way the Bulldogs went nearly 10 minutes without a field goal. They shot 19 percent and scored only 17 points in the second half and settled for 3-point shots over and over and over again (5 of 22). They were manhandled on the defensive boards and got and out-hustled for virtually every loose ball.

When they were down 16, then 18, then 19 points in the second half, Georgia never went into desperation mode and tried to foul and stop the clock or set some plays to get off some 3s.

Felton did not call for his team to go to the full-court press until it was down 19 with only 1:45 to play.

The Dogs just kind of let it happen.

"They just wanted it more than we did," Georgia guard Sundiata Gaines said. "They played like they wanted to get into the NCAA tournament and we didn't."
The other team wanting it more than us when we're on the road is a tired refrain. See also Vandy, Tennessee and Bama's 2nd half.
