Vandy downs Georgia in SEC QFs

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/13/2010 - Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - John Jenkins poured in a career-high 25 points to lead the 20th-ranked Vanderbilt Commodores to a 78-66 victory over the Georgia Bulldogs in the quarterfinal round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament.

Jermaine Beal pitched in 16 points for Vanderbilt (24-7), the East Division's second seed, which will do battle with the Mississippi State Bulldogs (W-1) in Saturday's semifinal round. The Commodores also got 10 points from A.J. Ogilvy.

"We've had very competitive games with Georgia both times this season, and tonight was not an exception," Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings said. "We're happy to win. We're happy to move on."

Travis Leslie exploded for a career-high 34 points in defeat for Georgia (14-17), the East Division's sixth seed. Trey Thompkins added 13 points for the Bulldogs.

"They were definitely the more aggressive team to start off," Georgia guard Ricky McPhee said. "We just got behind and just weren't able to make that run to come back and take the lead."

Vanderbilt went on a 14-4 run midway through the first half to take a 22-13 advantage.

Georgia fought back and owned its largest lead of the game with 5:35 remaining in the first half, a two-point advantage (25-23). Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, Vanderbilt closed the opening stanza with a 12-2 run and led 35-27 at intermission despite shooting only 35.3 percent from the field.

Over the final 20 minutes, the Commodores connected on 55.2 percent of their field goal attempts, including 5-of-8 from three-point range, en route to the double-digit victory.

Vanderbilt earned a 43-32 rebounding advantage in the tilt and limited Georgia to 3-of-16 shooting from three-point range, two obvious factors in the Commodores' success.

Leslie connected on 12-of-23 shots from the floor in the contest, but the rest of the Georgia team combined to shoot a lackluster 12-of-36.

Game Notes

Georgia and Vanderbilt split a pair of meetings during the regular season, and the Commodores own an 82-47 advantage in the all-time series between the teams...Vanderbilt won its only SEC title back in 1951 and is set to face a Mississippi State squad that captured the most recent of its three SEC championships last season...The Commodores move into the semifinal round of the SEC Tournament for the first time since 2004...Andre Walker pulled down 10 rebounds for Vanderbilt, his fourth double-digit career rebounding total.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
