Obviously the fast start, the discipline, the shot selection…etc.
But there was a 1 minute stretch in the second half where most teams would have folded mentally. We did not.
Georgia finally makes their run and with 9:05 left in the game, James gets the +1 to pull within 2 points.
If there is ever a time for a team to fold under pressure, on the road, this was it.
But not these Ags! Lane gets an open three, misses, but we get the second chance with an offensive rebound, and he sinks the second. 10 seconds into Georgia's possession, Cane misses a layup, and then Dibba hits a 3.
Georgia blinked and their deficit went -2 to -8…..from a one possession deficit to a three possession deficit.
That one minute of play summed up the "fearless" part of this team. Most teams would have folded under the pressure of the home team surging, pulling within 2, especially when you up by 20 at one point and feeling invincible.
Not this one.
