To a pessimist, it was a battle between bordering states’ basketball bottom dwellers.
To an optimist, it was a glass-half-full of fun.
Georgia pulled off a rare come-from-behind win in Nashville against Vanderbilt amidst a season plagued with blown leads.
Trailing by a single point with just over five seconds remaining in regulation, Tyree Crump lined up outside the paint prior to a pair of Vanderbilt free throws. Hoping for a couple of misses and then hoping to rebound, Crump and company needed a miracle.
Tom Crean’s team got just what they needed.
One of this college basketball season’s best back-and-forth contests played out the ending we all deserved, and thankfully for Dawg Nation, the good guys came out on top.
Former Crean apprentice Dwyane Wade chimed in to express some enthusiasm for his collegiate coach’s current squad.
Georgia improves to 14-13 on the season and picked up their fourth conference win of the year. The Bulldogs’ next appearance will be in Columbia to take on the South Carolina Gamecocks on Wednesday, February 26.
