More importantly, they sucked it up and played big boy basketball after getting undressed by Illinois in Chicago.
On the downside, the Dawgs were putrid from the free throw line going 10-21. The half court offensive sets were their usual dicey endeavors, and the substitution patterns involving Chris Barnes (who played very well) were puzzling.
At the end of the day, it's a win over an ACC team. Or as Felton said, "The best 5-4 team in America." The Bulldogs now face four tomato cans before entering an early January five game swing that will go a long way towards deciding what the future of this program really looks like.
From January 3-18, the Bulldogs have consecutive battles with:
- Home - Missouri (Jan. 3rd)
Away - Georgia Tech (Jan. 6th)
Home - Tennessee (Jan. 10th)
Away - Vanderbilt (Jan. 14th)
Home - Kentucky (Jan. 18th)
Georgia needs 17 wins to ensure a winning season.

Ware-behind-the-back-to-AJacks-for-the-slam actually made #8 on ESPN's Top Ten Plays this morning too. I was at the game, and I've gotta say I'm proud of the Dawgs' fight after being down at half and clutching it out in the end. The free throws WILL kill us if we don't get them in order...but at least VaTech wasn't much better.
I think it is time for Felton to figure out who is best 5 are and give them about 30 a game each, and let them learn to play with each other.
His substitution patterns must not be Scottish, because they're CRAP!
I think the Dawgs are doing a good job thus far. Some bumps along the way already, but they are figuring things out. I believe the Dawgs will have a season to remember.
+1 If it's not Scottish, It Crap refernce.
