J.J. Frazier had a huge steal, was fouled and hit a free throw with 2.1 seconds left to give Georgia a 65-64 win over South Carolina in the SEC tournament in Nashville late Friday night.

The Bulldogs' fifth straight victory sent them into the semifinals where they will face Kentucky Saturday.

Georgia, 19-12 and seeking to earn a spot in the NCAA tournament, rallied from an 11-point deficit to defeat the Gamecocks, who are 24-8.

Frazier scored 15 of his 20 points in the second half. Yante Maten added 17 for the Bulldogs.
