After giving up a double-digit late lead to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in Trey Thompkins first game back, the Georgia Bulldogs get the Temple Owls in round two of the Old Spice Classic. The Owls lost to the California Golden Bears, 57-50, their first loss of the season.
The key matchup tonight will be between Thompkins and Temple forward Lavoy Allen. The six-foot-nine senior is an NBA Draft first round hopeful. He's versatile, leading the Owls in both points and rebounds, posting the second-most blocks, and hovering very near the team lead in assists and steals.
Georgia can't give up 43 free throws tonight, like they did last night, and expect to win. Especially if they're only going to hit 10 of their own. If all else fails, at least Dawgs fans can take solace in their football program drawing about as many fans per game as Temple's does in a whole season, am I right?
