It wasn’t too long before tip-off that Georgia guard Tyree Crump learned he’d start against Tennessee.
Following three consecutive losses, Georgia head coach Mark Fox decided to tinker with the lineup. That included going with Crump, who was averaging 4.8 minutes per game previously, in the first five.
Having come to Georgia with some lofty expectations as an outside shooter, Crump hasn’t seen as much playing time as many outsiders may have expected. Given the opportunity during Georgia’s 76-75 win over Tennessee, Crump made sure to make his minutes count.
He got off to a good start with an early 3-point basket from the top of the key.
