Senior steps up in star’s absence
By MICHAEL FITZPATRICK
Thk Run & Black
*.
Mark Fox wasn't happy with his
team’s effort for the first 35 minutes
of Friday’s win over Mississippi
Valley State.
He was. however, happy with the
result, but knows his team must
play a more complete game when it
takes on Colorado at 7 p.m. in
Stegeman Coliseum.
“We didn’t want to be in that situ
ation, but we just didn’t play well
enough to be in a different position,"
Fox, Georgia’s men’s basketball
coach, said. “But in hindsight, even
though we didn’t play as well as I
would like us to play, I felt there
were things we could take from it.”
One of those things was the play
of senior forward Jeremy Price, who
scored 20 points, many of them in
the last four minutes to lead the
Bulldogs to a win.
Price stepped up in the absence
of junior forward Trey Thompkins
and made several big shots when
the Bulldogs desperately needed
points.
“He really stepped up like you
would expect as an upperclassman,”
Pox said. “I wish he had done it
before there were four minutes left
in the game, but at least he did it.”
“It felt good," Price added. “It felt
good to be out there as much as I
was and to make some big plays at
crunch time. It was a great confi
dence booster.”
What made the night sweeter for
Price was that when Pox arrived in
Athens prior to last season. Price
and Fox constantly butted heads
about everything.
And now?
“Oh it’s like night and day,” Fox
said. “Jeremy is a man now. He is a
zero-issue guy right now and we
probably butted heads hourly when
I first came here. I told him my head
was harder than his and he’s really
grown as a person and I’m proud of
him for that and I think that’s the
maturity he showed during the
game.”
Once Price finally got on board
with Fox’s plan, he said he felt his
confidence improve drastically,
because he felt the coaching staff
supported him and exuded confi
dence in his game.
“I did a lot of growing up and a
lot of maturing and I became a lot
more confident in my game and had
a lot more consistency in my game,”
Price said. ’The coaches have a ton
of confidence in me and even
believed some stuff that I don’t
believe. They’d tell me to get better
each day and to never be satisfied.
Never be satisfied.”
For Price’s teammates, Friday's
performance was not surprising.
They almost expected it.
“He played the way we always
knew he was capable of and I think
he's gonna have a breakout year,”
said junior guard Dustin Ware.
Despite the slim margin of victory
for Friday’s game, the team at large
felt it took more positives from the
game than negatives, and it plans to
build on them against the Colorado
Buffaloes.
“It built a lot of confidence for
the whole team," said junior guard
Gerald Robinson. “Even though it’s
important to believe in ourselves,
it's even more important to believe
in each other, and I think that will
help us go a long way and to believe
that we can make big plays down
the stretch, that will help us go far.”
They will need that confidence
against Colorado, a team that likes
to play a similar perimeter game

▲ Forward Jeremy Price (50) delivered in the key moments of
Georgia's 72-70 victory over Mississippi Valley State, and will
look to do the same in the Bulldogs’ game versus Colorado.
that nearly killed the Bulldogs on
Friday.
Sophomore guard Alec Burks and
senior guard Cory Higgins can be
deadly from behind the 3-point arc,
and Fox said his team’s perimeter
defense which allowed Mississippi
Valley State to shoot 58.8 percent
from distance —and rebounding
must improve.
Mississippi Valley State out
rebounded Georgia 41-31 and the
Bulldogs only came away with nine
offensive boards.
Ware said improvement is as sim
ple as just playing a complete game.
“We have to come out and be
more ready to play than we were on
Friday,” he said. “Colorado is a great
team and we have to come out hard
and battle and be ready to play.”
Thompkins out for tonight’s game
Thompkins. who is still recover
ing from a sprained ankle, will miss
his second straight game tonight,
unless, of course, Fox receives
“miraculous news.”
“[His recovery has] plateaued a
bit,” Fox said. “We haven’t seen the
progress we would like, but he hasn’t
practiced and hasn't been cleared to
practice. Unless I receive miraculous
news in the next five minutes, he’s
not going to practice today, and if he
doesn't practice, he’s not gonna
play. If there’s a time ... for it to hap
pen, it’s now, but we have some
tough games on the schedule and
we gotta get him back.”
FOx said it “would not be unreal
istic” to expect Thompkins back in
the lineup for the Old Spice Classic
in Orlando, Fla., on Nov. 25 when the
Dogs face the Fighting Irish of Notre
Dame.

Murray day-to-day
with minor injuries
By MICHAEL
FITZPATRICK
The Tod & Black
After taking several bru
tal late hits during the
football team’s loss to
Auburn on Saturday, quar
terback Aaron Murray has
been diagnosed with a
bruised knee and a bruised
sternum.
The redshirt freshman's
status is day-to-day,
according to Georgia’s
director of sports medicine
Ron Courson.
Throughout Saturday’s
contest, Murray was the
recipient of late and vio-
lent hits from
Auburn defensive
lineman Nick
Fairley, the last of
which occurred
when Fairley dove
helmet-first into
Murray’s right knee
late in the fourth
quarter. The play
eventually led to
fist-a-cuffis on the
field and to the
ejection of Tigers’
defensive linemen
Mike Blanc and
Michael Goggans.
Both players are
suspended for the
first half of
Auburn’s upcoming
game against
Alabama the day
after Thanksgiving.
Murray took a
couple of late shots
in the first quarter
when Fairley
appeared to drive
the Georgia quar
terback into the
ground. In the sec
ond quarter, he also
hit Murray in the
back well after
Murray released
the ball and was flagged
for roughing the passer.
Auburn’s Chizik maintains
silence regarding Newton
In keeping with a policy
Auburn adopted last week.
Tigers’ head coach Gene
Chizik maintained he will
not be commenting on any
off-the-fleld issues sur
rounding Heisman Trophy
hopeful quarterback Cam
Newton.
The last couple of
weeks, allegations have
been swirling regarding
Newton’s academic stand
ing at the University of
Florida two years ago and,
more significantly, that
Newton’s father Cecil solic
ited a six-figure sum from
Mississippi State in
exchange for his son’s
commitment to play there.
Mississippi State did
confirm it contacted the
SEC regarding Newton’s
recruitment and former
quarterback John Bond,
who confirmed a man
seeking money for
Newton’s signature
approached him, is meet
ing with the FBI today.

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK
The FBI is interested not
only in Newton's situation,
but if other college-eligible
athletes are being shopped
out to colleges.
While it is not known if
Cecil Newton solicited
or received money from
Auburn, if the school paid
the Newtons for Cam’s
commitment then he could
be found ineligible by the
NCAA.
Consequently, Auburn
would be forced to vacate
all of its wins this season

stake the Bulldogs to a
21-7 lead in the second
quarter. Green’s presence
in the lineup has helped

For the first time at

today the Nov. 27 game
between Georgia and in

will kickoff at 7:45 p.m.

The game will be

The Bulldogs (5-6) will
