Hoop Dawgs Stun Gators!

     Congratulations to Coach Mark Fox and his "Hardwood Hounds" for their thrilling and much needed 78-76 win over the Florida Gators.  Florida sauntered in to Stegeman Coliseum with a 20-9 overall record and a 9-5 SEC record compared to UGA's 12-14 overall record (now 13-14) and 4-8 (now 5-9) SEC record. 
    It didn't matter the records and usually never does when these two hated teams meet.  Georgia hungry for a win looked more focused and determined for a win shooting 57% compared to UF's 46% from the floor.  At one point Georgia went on a 15-2 run and led Florida 45-30 at the half.
     Florida did come fighting back though and with 5:46 left in the match-up Florida had closed the gap and stayed within 2 for most of the game.  UF decided not to foul, play defense and force Georgia to take a shot right around the 13 second mark.  Florida put themselves in contention to tie or win the game with just 13 seconds left; however, UGA's defense proved to be too much and the DAWGS and Coach Fox came away with yet another one of their unpredictable upsets this season.
     It is evident that Coach Fox has his Dawgs on the right path and we wish them luck in their upcoming match-up against those Wildcats from Kentuck on March 3rd.
     GOOOOOOOOOOOO  DAWGS!!!!
