Put away your torches and pithforks for just a little longer.
Behind big games from Yante Maten and Derek Ogbeide, Georgia thrashed Vanderbilt 78-62 in the first round of the SEC Tournament. The Red and Black led by as many as 25 in the first half and cruised late to down the Vanderbilt team they’d lost to by 15 in the regular season.
Maten threw down 25 points on a wickedly efficient 9 of 12 night from the field. Perhaps more importantly the AP SEC Player of the Year sat for the last four minutes of game time, resting up for the second round.
