Don't believe what you read about Georgia being some freaking Cinderella team, or being mentally or physically tired from the SEC tourney fiasco. They were clearly on their way to being the better team today, with leads as large as 11, except for a SLIGHT differential in freethrows: Georgia: 3-5 to Xavier 27-33; AND the fact that Xavier was allowed to play an incredibly aggressive style of defense that seemed to be fouls on Georgia's end. I HATE games like this. And I am disgusted by referees who call games like this. Ugly start to an exciting day at the expense of the Georgia Bulldogs who outplayed Xavier and truly deserved to be in the second round.
And in case you're wondering if any of those freethrows were at the end of the game when Georgia was fouling trying to catch up. The answer is, yes. Two of them.
