Nashville-Georgia’s stay in Nashville came to a short end on Wednesday evening when he lost to Oklahoma, 81-75.

“We fought. We did some good things offensive and defensive. Not enough to get ahead,” head coach Mike White said. “Unfortunately we broke the four-game series that we had. We hoped that we wanted five in advance. I thought we could be competitive here in this tournament, but we went out a little earlier when we hoped. That means this team achieved a lot. And we are ready to rest and go to the next.”

Despite the loss, the “next thing” for Georgia (20-12) is the first trip to the program for the NCAA tournament since 2015.

“We accepted hard tonight. You never want to lose a game. You always want to win as many as possible. But I would say that if we look back, we went through a lot of adversities” Silas Demary Jr. said.

Georgia just couldn’t do it on the route when Oklahoma (19-12) used a 16-0 run to turn a six-point deficit with 8:26 to play a 10-point lead.

The bulldogs, which became goalless for almost six minutes in the second half – would only be four.

The Bulldogs were just as unhappy for Georgia for almost four minutes after the run of Oklahoma after the second year had to sit with four fouls.

“Yes, Silas, for us he has an influence and defensive on both sides of the court” Asa Newell said. “We just didn’t enter our details and they took advantage of it.”

Weiß agreed.

“It certainly helped us when Silas went out. He had fouls for Oklahoma. It really brought fouls and put pressure on the edge and our entire defense,” said White. “But it was a combination of things, offensive and defensive so that they could do this run when it was outside. Our back court was better together than we played tonight and it must be better next week.”
