Georgia passed its first test without Yante Maten.
Needing as many wins as possible to close the season but playing without their star forward, the Bulldogs were able to secure a 60-55 win Thursday over Alabama. With only one day of rest, the second test comes quite soon against an LSU team that comes to town Saturday.
There were plenty of positives Georgia showed without Maten, who is out for the rest of the regular season with a significant knee sprain. For the first 30 minutes or so, Georgia ran its half-court sets with guard J.J. Frazier off the ball in an effort to create more scoring opportunities.
