FULLERTON, Calif. -- Georgia coach Mark Fox figured he had a simple enough decision to make before playing No. 21 Saint Mary's in the third-place game of the Wooden Legacy tournament Sunday.
Either try to shut down Saint Mary's from the 3-point line or clamp down around the paint.
For much of the night it appeared he had made the wrong choice, Saint Mary's continually scoring on layups, but the Bulldogs weathered a comeback to hold off the Gaels 83-81 in overtime.
"You've got to pick your poison," Fox said. "So we wanted to make sure we took away their 3-point shot as much as we could, and their perimeter players really didn't get any.
