Georgia sports for Wednesday, Mar. 19th

The Atlanta Falcons are close to finalizing a trade with the Oakland Raiders. In the deal, the Falcons would send defensive back DeAngelo Hall out west in return for at least a 2nd round draft pick, and possibly another selection in this April’s NFL Draft. The wait is on Oakland’s side, as it is working out a new contract with Hall. Hall was a 2004 draft pick of Atlanta and two-time Pro Bowler, but is known just as much for his outspokenness--including clashes with former head coach Bobby Petrino.

Georgia’s men’s basketball team is getting set for its first-round game in the NCAA Tournament-—tomorrow afternoon in Washington D.C. against Xavier. The Bulldogs are in the tourney on the strength of their improbable run in winning last weekend’s SEC Tournament.

College baseball from Tuesday-—Ga Tech beat Kenn St, 10-0. Georgia’s club topped Western Carolina, 8-3.

From pro hockey, the Atlanta Thrashers were losers at Philidelphia 3-2.
