The University of Georgia trailed at halftime in Nashville against No.20 Vanderbilt but slowly the Bulldog basketball team battled and suddenly Georgia was winning. Then with just 33 seconds remaining, Georgia had a five point lead. However like so many times this season on the road, the Dawgs couldn’t hold on as one of the conference’s best free throw shooting teams wilted at the line and allowed Vandy to push the game into OT. In overtime, Georgia battled back from down six with under thirty seconds to play but Travis Leslie’s potential game-tying shot fell short and the Dawgs lost 96-94 in OT. Leslie finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds while Trey Thompkins had 21 points. Dustin Ware had 16 points, including a pair of three pointers in overtime but it was his two missed free throws in regulation that haunt the Dawgs. Georgia fell to 4-9 in conference play, 12-14 overall. The Georgia women didn’t have as many road problems yesterday, going to Columbia and knocking off South Carolina 65-49. Ashley Houts scored 21 points and was a perfect 7-7 from the field in the win for No.24 Georgia.
The drunken freshman who claimed he was punched by Knowshon Moreno has decided not to press charges against the former Georgia running back and 2009 first round pick of the Denver Broncos. Police found that there is not probable cause to file charges against Moreno. The 18-year-old freshman did not originally press charges against Moreno until Monday, after “consulting with his friends.” Yesterday he admitted that he did not know if Moreno was one of the three men that allegedly beat him up. No word was released whether charges will be filed against the freshman for underage drinking.
2010 turned out to be no different than 2006 or even 2002 as Canada claimed the women’s hockey gold medal, this time taking out Team USA 2-0 for the win. Team USA was shut out on 28 shots after outscoring their other opponents 40-2. In other hockey news, the United States took both gold and silver in the individual Nordic combined race with Billy Demong and Johnny Spillane winning the medals. Jeret “Speedy” Peterson also took a silver medal in men’s ski aerials to bump the US medal haul up to 32 overall with 8 golds. The US record is 34 medal and 10 golds from 2002′s Salt Lake City games.
