Final Score- Georgia 60, Kentucky 56 in OT
> Live on-location in Atlanta, GA at the SEC Tournament
This game ended about two hours ago, but I havent been able to update you due to a dying laptop... and, yet another, Tornado in downtown Atlanta. This one wasnt as destructive as last night's, but the radar shows that more is coming tonight.
The game was back and forth until the end of regulation, and five more minutes were added. In Overtime, Georgia took the early lead but UK held on. With the score tied and 45 seconds left in Overtime, Kentucky held the ball until 15 seconds were left before Ramel Bradley grabbed a long rebound and scored on a fifteen foot jump shot to put the Wildcats ahead 56-54 eith 8.8 seconds left. After the Bulldogs discussed their strategy in a timeout, freshman Zac Swansey, who had no points in regulation, drove the length of the court, spun at the three point line, and sank a 3 point shot with just 1.2 seconds left to put the Bulldogs on top for good. After a Christian Laetner type play went out of bounds with out anyone touching it, Georgia took over possession with 1.2 still left on the clock. Billy G did a smart move by fouling with no time running off the clock. Georgia made their free throws and the rest is history.
For Kentucky, they'll have to wait til tomorrow at five to see their fate, but its most likely good. They should be seeded around a 9-11.
As for Georgia, they must face Mississippi State tonight after the Tennessee- Arkansas game. Speaking of Vols and Hogs, I'm back here at Alexander Memorial Coliseum, and this place is rockin'. There are quite a few Tennessee fans here to compliment a lot of Arkansas fans. Pig Sooey and Rocky Top cheers keep going back and forth, and this makes for one exciting game. Tip off is in about 25 minutes.
As I said earlier, I have a dying computer with no outlets to plug it into (GA Tech's gym isn't the most up-to-date, to say the least). So, if you don't see any updates at halftime of this game, don't worry- no tornadoes took me away.
