Halftime Update- Georgia 44, Ole Miss 40

> Live on-location in Atlanta, GA at the SEC Tournament


Well, surprise surprise. The Bulldawgs lead the Rebs by four at the break. No one saw this coming. The numbers are amazingly similar between the two teams. Georgia is shooting 57 percent, Ole Miss is shooting 56. Georgia is 5-9 from 3's, Ole Miss is 4-9. Georgia has 13 rebounds, Ole Miss has 13. Georgia has 4 offensive rebounds, Ole Miss has 4. Georgia is 5-9 from the foul line, Ole Miss is 6-8. But the only difference that matters at the end of the game is the one that says "score", and right now Georgia owns that category. The Bulldawgs are being led by their two guards, Terrance Woodbury and Billy Humphrey, who have combined shot 5-7 from three point land and have 24 of Georgia's 44 points at halftime. However, look for the Rebels, who are fighting for an NCAA Tournament bid, to come out fired up in the second half and take this game.

Speaking of fighting for NCAA Tournament bids, does anybody want them?!?
