UGA blew the state’s shot at a Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate rematch in the NIT, falling to the Belmont Bruins in ugly fashion up in Athens instead of surviving to face the Jackets in the tournament’s second round. That means that the Bruins are now Tech’s next opponent, and so the two schools will face off this Sunday at noon in what is now guaranteed to be the final game of the season at McCamish Pavilion — the other two remaining teams in Tech’s quadrant are both higher seeds than the Jackets. Belmont is one of the most successful teams in the Ohio Valley conference year after year and would’ve been awarded an NCAA selection had they won a couple more OVC tournament games after winning the conference’s regular season.
