Apart, Georgia guards Litterial
Green and Rod Cole are two sepa
rate entities.
Green is the fire, the scorer, the
talker and the flamboyant pace
setter.
Cole is the ice, the calm, cool and
collected floor general, soft-spoken
and reserved.
Together the two opposites at
tract to form arguably the SEC’s
remiere backcourt tandem
eading into the 1990-91 season.
‘They’re probably the best back-
court combination in the league,"
Alabama coach Wimp Sanderson
said. ‘They are very experienced
and ore two very complete guards.”
Ole Miss coach Ed Murphy con
curs.
‘They’re as good os anyone,”
Murphy said. “They’re certainly
the best returning pair. They've got
the edge on experience.”
Green and Cole, who'll start in
the backcourt in Georgia’s home
opener tonight at 7:30 p.m. against
Western Kentucky, run the ofTense
like clockwork after the two years
they have played together.
“That comes with playing to
gether for such a long time," said
Cole, a senior. “It comes from
knowing each other and respecting
each other. I’m the kind of person
who looks to other people. Litte-
rial’s the scorer. He’s going to look
to shoot the ball and he’s going to
look to score."
Green, a pre-season All-SEC se
lection this year, comes off a season
when he was second on the team in
scoring, averaging 17.5 points per
game for the SEC champs, and was
the league’s seventh-leading
scorer.
“I’ll give all my points back for a
win any night," said Green, a ju
nior. “I’m not going to pad my mind

with ‘I’ve got to be an offensive
threat.* I just go and play and let
the game come to me.
Some of the Moss Point, Miss.,
native’s attributes include his
quickness, ability to drive the hoop
and a threatening outside shot.
“He’s got the speed to blow by
you with the dribble,” Sanderson
said. “He’s strong and can also put
up the jump shot.”
Last year Green shot 41 percent
from the floor and sank a team
high 49 three-pointers. He also av-
eraged 4.2 assists per game and
was second to Cole with 37 steals.
Cole, regarded last year as the
league’s most-underrated player, is
one of the SEC’s most well-rounded
players on offense and defense.
,r He’s our best on-the-ball de
fender,” Georgia associate coach
Tevester Anderson said. “He can
score too. He’s all you look for in a
point guard. He’s a tremendous
role player that the NBA and we
like a lot.”
The Conyers, Ga., native aver
aged 11 points per game last year,
and ranked No. 6 in the SEC in as
sists with 4.3 per game. Cole also
led Georgia with 50 steals, ranking
him No. 8 in the conference.
Cole scored in double figures 19
times last season and scored a
season high 19 points in a crucial
94-92 overtime victory against
LSU in Baton Rouge, La., on Jan.
24. With four seconds remaining in
that contest, Cole sank three free
throws after he was fouled on a
three-point attempt to send the
game into overtime.
“Last year was Rod’s first year
as the full-time lead guard for us
and he did an outstanding job,"
Georgia coach Hugh Durham said.
“His game improved last season
and I see him continuing to im-
rove in all areas this year. I’m
appy for Rod that he’s getting a
little more recognition now."
Dogs have defensive ability to win
By ERIK SCHMIDT
Sports Writer
Going into the 1990-91 basketball season, the
big strength for the Georgia men’s team was sup
posed to be defense.
And following a Central Fidelity Holiday Classic
Championship in which the Bulldogs outscored
their opponents by a combined score of 179-103, the
“Big D” didn’t disappoint.
Tonight in the Dogs’ home opener at the Col
iseum against Western Kentucky (tip-off 7:30
p.m ), Georgia will look to continue the trend.
“For our team to be good, we’re going to have to
dictate the game defensively," Georgia conch Hugh
Durham said. “You dictate tempo with defense, you
don’t dictate the game with offense.”
Led by big men Neville Austin, Antonio Harvey,
Marshall Wilson and Arlando Bennett, the Bull
dogs controlled the glass on offense and defense (61
front court rebounds) as well as rejecting 13 of
their opponents’ shots.
“The defense blocks shots better than they did
last year," assistant conch Mark Slonnker said.
“(The defense) should be better than last year’s de
fense because we’re quicker.”
The Bulldogs held Richmond to 45 points in the
finals of the Holiday Classic and forcea them into a
miserable 33.3 shooting percentage from the floor.
A ist Wichita State in the first game, Georgia al-
1 only 15 first half points as the Shockers were
:u/.ed by the Bulldogs’ strong inside game.
ie Georgia front court is extremely tall and
t. as the three starting big men, Austin, Wilson
and Bennett, average a little over 6 feet 9 inches
tall, while reserves Harvey, Reggie Tinch and Lem
Howard stand 6-foot-ll, 6-foot-5 and 6-foot-7 re
spectively.
“We have the physical ability to be a good de
fensive team," Austin said. “Some of the guys are
stronger (than last season) and we’ve been in the
weight room. We have a good chance to be a pretty
good defense.”
The play of the Georgia guards is also a crucial
part of the defense.
“Pressure starts with the guards,” Durham said.
“If you don't have pressure on the ball, you’re going
to get killed on the defensive standpoint."
Returning starters Litterial Green and Rod Cole
add this pressure element to the Bulldog back-
court, as do reserves Shaun Golden, Jody Patton
and Bernard Davis.
In the Holiday Classic, Golden set a single-game
record for steals with six against Richmond. Last
season as a freshman, Golden had 32 steals for the
Dogs.
“I hnve a knack for wanting the ball,” Golden
said. "Everybody hates defense. When I’m on de
fense, I want to be on offense. I want to pressure
(the other team) so we can get the ball back and get
on offense. Defensive stands are the most impor
tant things to the offense.”
The Georgia backcourt came up with 12 steals
over the course of the tourney and grabbed 15 re
bounds.
“We’re a good backcourt but talk is cheap,”
Green said. “We’ve got to come to play."

Lady Dogs ready to burn the court
By BILLY COPELAN
Sports Writer
When the Lady Bulldog basket
ball team opens its Beason against
Northeast Louisiana tonight at 5
p.m. in the Coliseum, it will be
sporting a new look.
Unlike the past few seasons
when the Lady Dogs pounded the
ball inside, this year tne team will
be running the fast break and
pressing full court.
Coacn Andy Landers has been
forced to make such major adjust
ments because of a serious lack of
depth at the low post. Although
Landers returns tnree-time All-
SEC center Tammye Jenkins, who
averaged 13 points and 8.1 re
bounds per game last year, and
1990 All-SEC forward Stacey Ford
(13.2 points, 6.2 rebounds per
game), he is left with only one sub
stitute at the low post, sophomore
Jessica Barr.
To compensate for the lack of
depth at low post Landers will em
ploy a three-guard offense and pos
sibly a four-guard offense at times
to play an up-tempo game.
“Overall, from a team concept
our team’s abilitites lend itself to
the running game,” Landers said.
“It’s really more suited to all of our
players. Our inside people have
good mobility and can run the
floor. And our strength is on the pe
rimeter where we’re deep, and
we’re quicker than we’ve been in
the past five years."*
The Lady Dogs’ deep backcourt
is led by last year’s leading scorer.
Lady Hardmon (14.1 points and 5.7
rebounds per game). Landers said
Hardmon could benefit from the
running game by increasing her
scoring potential.
Hardmon, an All-SEC selection
as a sophomore last year, is
thrilled with the prospect of run-
nine the floor for 40 minutes.
"1 like to run the game,"
Hardmon said. “It’s something I
grew up with. I’ve always liked to
run. This year we’ve got the talent
and players to do it so I’m going to
love it.
Landers also noted that the up
tempo style of play will have other
ndvnntages besides enhancing the
scoring potential of the explosive
Hardmon.
Last season Landers cited his
team’s lack of defensive intensity
ns a major problem.
“It is imperative to play great
defense,” Landers said. “We have
to instill defensive pride and raise
the defense another level."
Landers hopes the up-tempo
J ;ame will spnrk his team’s de-
ensive intensity this year.
“We’re going to play as up-tempo
on defense as we ao on ofTense," ne
said.“We hope to have a wearing
effect on other teams, if not physi
cally, then certainly mentally.”
Hardmon is just as excited about
the prospect of putting the pres
sure on opposing teams with her
defense as much as with her of
fense.
“Defense is the heart of our
gome,” Hardmon said. “I think we
will wear a lot of teams dhwn be
cause of the press. No one likes to
be pressed for 40 minutes.”
The change in style of play this
year should enable the Lady Dogs
to reach their potential as a team.
Landers said that there is one key
element present this year that was
not in the past two seasons when
the Lady Dogs failed to make it
past the second round of the
NCAA.
