The terrific run of last weekend for Georgia’s men’s basketball team ended in a 1st round loss yesterday in the NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs fell to Xavier 73-61 in action from Washington D-C. Georgia led by as many as 11 points in the game, but faded over the last 16 minutes of the game--getting outscored in that stretch 41-18. Head coach Dennis Felton says there was no factor of fatigue from his team’s 4-games-in-3-days-run last weekend to win the SEC Tournament.
"We had a real tangible experience of learning how we don't have to succumb to fatigue. I thought(in yesterday's game) we remained aggressive and played very hard until the end".
It was the final game in the college careers of senior Georgia players Sundiata Gaines and Dave Bliss. Georgia finishes their season with a 17-17 record.
The Atlanta Braves were winners in spring training action Thursday, a 3-2 win over the Detroit Tigers in Orlando. Josh Anderson had a 2-run double in the 9th for the win. Chipper Jones at the plate had a home run and double. On the mound, it was another solid effort for pitcher Tim Hudson—-he scattered 5 hits and a run across 6 innings of work.
From the NFL, the Falcons have finalized a trade sending cornerback DeAngelo Hall to the Oakland Raiders. The Falcons get a 2nd round draft pick in next month’s draft, and a 5th rounder next year. Hall with the Raiders gets a 7-year contract worth 67-million dollars, of which 24-and-a-half million is guaranteed money.
