Georgia Beats Arkansas, Advances to Big Dance With SEC Tournament Title

Georgia wrote the most improbable of endings to its stunning run through the SEC Tournament today, winning its third game in 30 hours to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

The Bulldogs improved their overall record to 16-16, but they sure haven't looked like a .500 team lately. After an SEC season in which they won four games and lost 12, they've completed an SEC Tournament in which they won four games and lost none.

The first two of those wins were in overtime, and thanks to a tornado damaging the Georgia Dome, the final three wins had to happen over the course of just two days, with Georgia winning an almost unprecedented two games on Saturday before winning the title today.

Georgia coach Dennis Felton, who was on the hottest of seats entering this Tournament, now appears to be safe in his job. It would be hard to justify firing the coach whose team is the best story in college basketball, and that's just what Felton's team has become.
