03/13/2010 - Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - John Jenkins poured in a career-high 25 points to lead the 20th-ranked Vanderbilt Commodores to a 78-66 victory over the Georgia Bulldogs in the quarterfinal round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament.
Jermaine Beal pitched in 16 points for Vanderbilt (24-7), the East Division's second seed, which will do battle with the Mississippi State Bulldogs (W-1) in Saturday's semifinal round. The Commodores also got 10 points from A.J. Ogilvy.
"We've had very competitive games with Georgia both times this season, and tonight was not an exception," Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings said. "We're happy to win. We're happy to move on."
Travis Leslie exploded for a career-high 34 points in defeat for Georgia (14-17), the East Division's sixth seed. Trey Thompkins added 13 points for the Bulldogs.
"They were definitely the more aggressive team to start off," Georgia guard Ricky McPhee said. "We just got behind and just weren't able to make that run to come back and take the lead."
Vanderbilt went on a 14-4 run midway through the first half to take a 22-13 advantage.
Georgia fought back and owned its largest lead of the game with 5:35 remaining in the first half, a two-point advantage (25-23). Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, Vanderbilt closed the opening stanza with a 12-2 run and led 35-27 at intermission despite shooting only 35.3 percent from the field.
Over the final 20 minutes, the Commodores connected on 55.2 percent of their field goal attempts, including 5-of-8 from three-point range, en route to the double-digit victory.
Vanderbilt earned a 43-32 rebounding advantage in the tilt and limited Georgia to 3-of-16 shooting from three-point range, two obvious factors in the Commodores' success.
Leslie connected on 12-of-23 shots from the floor in the contest, but the rest of the Georgia team combined to shoot a lackluster 12-of-36.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
