The Georgia men’s basketball team is off to its best start since the 1982-83 Final Four team. The Dawgs have come out hot in 2020, winning seven games straight to put them at 7-0.
Head coach Tom Crean is now in his third season with the Bulldogs and is already completely shifting the culture of Georgia basketball. He recruited Anthony Edwards, who went No. 1 overall in the 2020 NBA Draft and now has Georgia undefeated so far in 2020.
Crean is showcasing a very balanced roster of talent, having five players average ten or more points. Sophomore forward Toumani Camara is leading the charge for the Dawgs in the stat book, averaging 14.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. He is also shooting the ball efficiently at 52.9%.
Senior guard Justin Kier is finding his role and stepping up big for the Bulldogs, averaging 12 points on 48.1% shooting, 4.8 rebounds and 4 assists through seven games.
So far, the Dawgs have beat Florida A&M, North Georgia, Jacksonville, Montana, Samford, Cincinnati and Northeastern. This is definitely the easier portion of their schedule, as they have a full slate of SEC matchups coming up that will put them to the test.
Georgia will face the 5-3 Mississippi State Bulldogs next on Dec. 30. ESPN’s Basketball Power Index gives UGA a 45.7% chance of coming out on top in that game.
