Things are going great in Athens if you are a Georgia fan.
The Bulldogs downed Ole Miss in dominant fashion on Saturday. But on the basketball court the Bulldogs found themselves in an absolute dogfight on Sunday.
Georgia was down 34-32 with 13:34 in the second half, but the team went on a run to escape with the 64-54 victory.
The Bulldogs really struggled shooting the ball, as they were only 19-of-53 from the field. The shooting from the 3-point line was even worse, as the Bulldogs were 6-of-25 from the 3-point line.

If there was one area where the team was good on the offensive end was at the free-throw line, as the Bulldogs made 20-of-25 of their free throws.
Leading the way for Georgia was Jabri Abdur-Rahim, who had 13 points and 4 rebounds. He was able to get to the line at a high clip, as he finished 10-of-11 from the free throw line.
The schedule gets tougher for the Bulldogs quickly, as Georgia will be in action in the Bahamas on Friday against the Miami Hurricanes. The Hurricanes are currently No. 13 in the country and are coming off a Final Four berth last season.
