A Sluggish Alabama Gets Upset on the Road at Georgia

Tuesday night in Athens, Catchings scored 32 points as Georgia beat No. 16 Alabama 98-88, ending their eight-game streak.
A 12-0 first-half run, fueled by steals and outside shooting, gave Georgia a halftime lead, with Catchings hitting 7 of 13 from 3-point range.
Alabama was undone by a roughly 20-minute delay and Georgia scored 14 second-chance points, with coach Nate Oats saying 'Gotta give Georgia a lot of credit'.
The win likely clinched Georgia's spot in the 68-team NCAA Tournament and marked their best regular-season victories since 2001-02, as Nate Oats praised their effort.
Georgia will play at Mississippi State on Saturday after a likely NCAA trip, while Alabama returns home Saturday to face Auburn for SEC tournament seeding.
