Five observations from Georgia's decisive win over Vanderbilt in SEC Tournament | Columbus Ledger-Enquirer

Here are five observations from No. 12 seed Georgia's 78-62 win over No. 13 seed Vanderbilt in the first round of the SEC Tournament.

Suffocating defense

Taking the entire season into account, Georgia's defense hasn't been a problem. If anything, one could nitpick and say the 3-point defense was shaky sometimes. But overall, Georgia was a sound defensive team more often than not.

Against Vanderbilt, Georgia (17-14) controlled the Commodores on the defensive end and never let them establish a rhythm whatsoever. Vanderbilt missed its first nine 3-point attempts, and it wasn't like it was missing open shots.
