Sears has Solid Performance in Loss
Mark Sears logged 22 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Saturday’s 91-71 loss to Tennessee. Sears continues to be one of the more electrifying guards in the country and showed that on display despite losing Saturday’s game to Tennessee. Sears is averaging 19.8 points per game while shooting 53.3 percent from the field this season. The senior will continue to be one of the primary shooters for Alabama moving forward.
Hill Could be Out vs. Alabama
Justin Hill (ankle) may be out for Georgia’s game Wednesday against Alabama, according to Marc Weiszer of The Athens Banner-Herald. Hill injured his right ankle during Georgia’s game Saturday at Florida. He will have sat out team practices the Bulldogs underwent Monday and Tuesday. Thus, Hill’s availability status is questionable to doubtful before they host Alabama.
