SEC Team Notes:
* Georgia's Charles Mann, a 6-foot-5, 205-pound sophomore guard from Alpharetta, Ga., was
named SEC Player of the Week after averaging 20 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in wins at
Missouri and against Alabama. Mann had team scoring honors in both of Georgia's wins last week,
helping the Bulldogs to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2002. He played 42 of a possible 45 minutes
in the overtime win at 21st-ranked Missouri, scoring the last two of his team-high 18 points with
34 seconds left in overtime, putting Georgia ahead for good. He scored 22 points in Georgia's home
win over Alabama, including 14 in the second half. Mann made 13 of 18 foul shots in the game; his 18
attempts were the fourth most in UGA history and most by a Georgia player in 10 years.
* South Carolina's Sindarius Thornwell, a 6-foot-5, 206-pound freshman guard from Lancaster, S.C., was named SEC Freshman of the Week after averaging 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists against 10th-ranked Florida and LSU. Thornwell shot 66.7 percent (12-18) from the field in posting 10 points at Florida, and a season high 25 points against LSU on Saturday. He was a perfect 2-of-2 from 3-point range against Florida while collecting three steals to match his season high. Against LSU, Thornwell scored a season best 25 points, including 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting in the first half.
