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 The Red * Mack put Hat— duty during each Minuter according to the IMveraNy achedule ana may ba placed Monday' Friday 9am spm.

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. 20 | Housmg 5350/MO FOR 1/2 house~- turmshed!

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. 80 j Help Wura r BARTENDINGI UP to $250/day.

Consequently, Auburn would be forced to vacate all of its wins this season and Georgia would be i MURRAY NEWTON me ' ' GREEN two touchdowns helping stake the Bulldogs to a 21-7 lead in the second quarter.
