The Georgia Bulldogs and Anthony Edwards knocked off the 13th ranked Auburn Tigers 65-55 in Athens. The win is a bright spot in Georgia’s up and down season. Hopes were high following UGA’s big-time win over Memphis before conference play begin.
Tom Crean and the Dawgs have struggled in SEC play, but with this upset win they’re now 13-13 overall. They’ll have to win the SEC tournament to make the NCAA tournament. Still, it was the biggest win of the year for Bulldogs and it came at the expense of hated rival Auburn.
Georgia fans rejoiced on social media:
Your Auburn “basketball school” Tigers ladies and gentlemen… https://t.co/e1Scfle7fB
