Georgia stuns Georgia Tech

Bulldogs bounce No. 3 Yellow Jackets in two OTs

? Late in the second overtime, with Georgia clinging to a slim lead, Jonas Hayes looked over at his twin brother, Jarvis, who was sitting in the stands for the first time this season.

“He asked me if I was tired,” Jonas Hayes said. “I said not really, but, man, I was tired.”

His fatigue hardly showed.

Hayes had four of his career-high 25 points in the second OT and added 10 rebounds, helping Georgia upend No. 3 Georgia Tech, 83-80, Saturday.

Jarvis Hayes, a guard with the Washington Wizards, was honored before the game, part of Georgia’s tradition of bringing back former basketball lettermen. He sat courtside in a Herschel Walker throwback jersey.

“I’m so happy for him and those guys,” he said after the game, as he signed autographs. “I can’t stop smiling.”

Jonas Hayes missed two free throws that would have given the Bulldogs (8-3) a four-point lead with 20.7 seconds left in the second OT, but Jarrett Jack missed a layup on the other end.

The rebound fell into the lap of Georgia’s Chris Daniels, who was sitting on the floor, and he passed to Levi Stukes. He was fouled and made one free throw, and B.J. Elder missed a long, desperation three-pointer just before the buzzer.

Georgia's Damien Wilkins jumps into the arms of former teammate Jarvis Hayes after defeating Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs prevailed against the No. 3-ranked Yellow Jackets, 83-80, in double overtime Saturday in Athens, Ga.

After it was over, fans mobbed the Georgia players at halfcourt in celebration.

“I think this is a momentum builder for us,” Jonas Hayes said. “It says a lot about our character. We just held together as a team.”

The Yellow Jackets (12-1) lost for the first time, snapping a school-record streak to start the season. They haven’t won in Athens since 1976.
