Another one down to the wire!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
After the way the Dawgs clawed their way back into the game in the first half against LSU after being a dozen points down, I bet there wasn’t anyone in the raucous Stegeman Coliseum Sunday (including those wearing LSU colors) who didn’t have a feeling that Georgia was going to pull this one out when Sundiata Games brought the ball down as the seconds ticked off. And when Gaines passed off to the suddenly hot Levi Stukes for a 3-pointer, that was it, 57-54. A fraction of a second was put back on the clock, but the game was already decided.
This time around, with the Tigers clamping down on the Dawgs’ inside game, Georgia had to go back to shooting 3’s, and they managed to sink eight of them in the second half. None bigger than that last one, though.
It was great to see another wild and crazy crowd at the Steg. If any parts of the Bulldog Nation weren’t believers in this team before today, they certainly should be now!
POSTSCRIPT: I also liked how Felton sent the players up into the stands after the game to shake hands with the fans. He really seems to be reaching out to the fans now. He said on the post-game show that he credited the fans with both of the last two wins, saying that if we’d only had 7,000 or 8,000 there instead of a full house, he doesn’t think we would have taken either game.
