Dawgs Survive Slow Start...Gaines Injured

Georgia survived a very slow start, trailing by as many as 12 points, by going on a 25-2 run that put them ahead 48-35 at the break. Georgia went on to defeat Jacksonville 93-77. But the victory did not come without a price. Starting point guard and reigning SEC Player of the Week Sundiata Gaines went down with an ankle injury in the first half and did not return.

However, look for several Bulldogs sharing the point guard responsibilities throughout the game. Sluggish Start I can't fault the team for not being overly motivated at the start of the game. The Steg was very empty. I suppose that is what happens when you play a home game against Jacksonville on a weeknight when school is out. Luckily though they played through their slow start and won convincingly. That is what good teams do. Look at those empty seats! You can tell school is out. Image from Yahoo! Sports.
