Key Quotes:
Head Coach Mike White
On tonight's performance…
"… I did not see that coming. I expected to win the game. These guys have practiced really hard all week, been locked in and in our preparation. We played as disconnected as we've played all season. Really proud of our regular season. We broke records. We did things that have never happened, obviously, in the history of Georgia basketball. But our plan was to come here and play well and compete and advance. Just a tough way to end it."
