Star forward makes home debut
By MITCH BLOMERT
The Red & Black
Stegeman Coliseum is a
welcome sight for the
Georgia men’s basketball
team after suffering its
first two losses of the sea
son during a four-game
road trip.
The Bulldogs will return
home for the first time
since Nov. 16 with another
early-season challenge
waiting for them in a hot
University of Alabama-
Birmingham team.
“We’re really excited to
be home,” Georgia head
coach Mark Pox said. “We
haven’t been for what
seems like forever.”
The Bulldogs went 2-2
on the road, but if there’s
any place the Bulldogs
(4-2) know how to win it’s
at home, where a support
ive crowd propelled them
to two close victories to
open the season against
Mississippi Valley State
and Colorado.
But UAB isn’t
Mississippi Valley State or
Colorado.
The Blazers (6-1) are
currently on a four-game
winning streak, including
a 70-65 victory over SEC
hopeful Arkansas last
Friday.
“We’re excited to be
back in front of our fans,
they were a big part of our
last home win. We’re going
to need their help tomor
row because we’re playing
a good team,” Pox said.
The Bulldogs will coun
ter UAB’s hot streak with
the home debut of forward
Trey Thompkins, who
averaged 14.7 points per
game in his three outings
Lady Dogs dominate Georgia Tech ‘rivalry
By RYAN BLACK
The Red & Black
When it comes to Georgia’s match
up with Georgia Tech in women’s
basketball, it is a rivalry in name
only. The Lady Bulldogs have domi
nated the Lady Yellow Jackets on
the court, winning 27 of their 30 all
time meetings.
Despite the overwhelming lead
Georgia has over Georgia Tech head
to-head, Lady Bulldogs head coach
Andy Landers said that does not
mean the game is any less heated
every year.
“It’s [an] enjoyable game and
meaningful for our fans and our play
ers,” he said. “We have obviously
dominated it for a long time, but
those three that we lost we don’t feel
real good about. So we’re ready to
do our best when we go over there.”
Sunday will mark the first time
the Lady Bulldogs (6-1) head “over
there” to Atlanta since 2008, when
the Lady Yellow Jackets won by 15
points, 67-52.
Senior Porsha Phillips is one of
the only players still on Georgia’s
roster who was with the team when

Coliseum after losing two out of three games in the Old Spice Classic.
during the Old Spice
Classic. The tournament
was his first appearance of
the year after missing
three games with an ankle
sprain.
Thompkins, the team’s
leading scorer last season,
experienced swelling in his
ankle during the tourna
ment, but is ready to play
despite being less than,loo
percent healthy.
“I definitely feel like I’m
getting back to my old
self,” Thompkins said. “I’m
getting there. My team
mates are working with me
and that’s the most impor
tant thing.”
Though Thompkins’
numbers are still not quite
up to par with his averages
it lost to Tech two years ago.
“I don’t think [the underclass
men] know how big of a deal this
game is,” she said. “I’m going to let
them know that. Tech is a great
team, and I think we just need to get
together and make sure we’re
focused for Sunday.”
And for another Lady Bulldog,
this game will mean a little more
than most.
Freshman guard Khaalidah Miller
is “looking forward” to returning to
her hometown, where she starred at
Douglass High School. Though her
family has been at every game thus
far this season, Miller said she knows
there will be a lot more familiar faces
in the crowd on Sunday.

not to think about it, but I am defi
nitely nervous because it will be the

I’m a little shaky about it, but I’ll get

Georgia Tech was actually in
Miller’s “top five” colleges she was
considering last year when she was
being recruited, even taking an offi

had made up her mind to attend
Georgia even before she visited
Georgia Tech.
“I felt like Georgia was a better
place for me, and I bonded better
with the team as well as the coach
es,” Miller said.
Speaking of the Georgia coaches,
they are busy game-planning against
what they know to be a tough Lady
Yellow Jacket squad.
“They have great athleticism and
great quickness,” Landers said.
“They are committed to defending
and going hard and playing full court
defense. That in itself is a chal
lenge.”

Students put forth
best art for exit show
By ADAM CARLSON
The Red & Black
After years of coffee shop-set exhibitions and
classroom-bound exercises, the University’s art stu
dents are readying for one final public display.
“The exit show is supposed to be the culmination
of your entire education in a studio art program,” said
Jeff Gess, who is exiting in photography. “The final
required course of each studio art major is an ’exit’
course, in which you are supposed to create a body of
work to be exhibited with your classmates.”
Thus, graduating students in the University’s art
programs have been preparing the proper showcases
for their work.
“It is important for an artist to be able to create a
cohesive body of work,” said Rachel Cook, who is
exiting in printmaking. “So while many studios are
more assignment-oriented, we are given this opportu
nity to bring our ideas together as a representation of
what we have learned and how we choose to channel
that knowledge in our work.”
In many ways, it hasn’t just been a semester of
preparing for this cumulative representation. It’s
been years-long: the culmination of all their time thus
far working with and learning about artistic media.
“The exit shows are the most heavily attended
shows the school puts on. Hundreds of people come
to see the art, and for most of us it will be the biggest
audience we’ve had for our work,” Gess said. “So
there is definitely reason to be both excited and
intimidated. All of the students have been to exit
shows for classes ahead of them, so there’s no delu
sions about how it can go.”
Additionally, participating artists are required to
organize nearly every aspect of their exit showing
but not without good reason.
“We must coordinate materials, studio time, as well
as promotional material,” Cook said. “It is like a pre
paratory show for the professional artist, so students
are responsible for all aspects of the show, from per
sonal work to the reception tables.”
The continued effort involved, across weeks and
months, has also provided some perspective on the
requirements of professional art-making: that is, of
making and marketing yourself to the world.
“I think it can be a good reality check for all of us,”
Gess said.
Still, it was always the art that mattered most.
“The process of planning and preparing are the
most difficult part of an exit show,” Cook said. “In the
first month I made drawings. I would draw at least
six hours a day outside of class. I was pretty sick of it
within two weeks.”
Across the varying works and media represented in
the exit show, this artistic persistence seems to be a
unifying trait.
“Everyone has gone through a lot to get their work
ready,” Gess said. “And a lot of the time goes into the
details that you don’t notice if they’re done well.”
More, the students’ drive has led to wildly different
presentations including works on gender, celebrity
culture, Cook’s own exploration of the power of story
telling and Gess’ retrospective on Athens.
As the exit shows are usually the biggest shows of
the year, each student artist is also afforded the
opportunity to have eyes see their work not in cof
fee-shop comers, but up-close.
With the possibility of a captive audience, there’s
also the chance to connect.
“It’s a pretty ideal situation for an artist to just get
to make what you want and have an audience of hun
dreds see it in person,” Gess said. “Most of us won’t
get that again for a while.”
And with this semester’s final, cumulative show,
those participating hope that there are as many avail
able connections as possible.
“It is best that the Exit Show is the last semester,
but life isn’t always neat,” said Georgia Strange, a
professor of art and the director of Lamar Dodd. “The
intensity and momentum of the Exit Show propels
students to the next stage of their life.”
