Georgia's perseverance evident as Bulldogs advance to NIT semifinalsThe Bulldogs handled a late Buckeyes rally and got the last laugh in a big NIT quarterfinals victory.
Blue Cain - Key contributor as Bulldogs advanceCain contributed 17 points (5-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 79-77 victory over Ohio State.
ImpactCain's scoring has been up and down this year, as he's averaging just 7.5 ppg but also has four games with 17 or more. The freshman has has picked things up of late, however, starting every game since March 5 and posting respectable averages of 9.7 ppg and 4.7 rpg over that seven-game stretch. He'll get at least one more chance to solidify his role for next season with Georgia advancing to the NIT Semifinals on April 2.

Bruce Thornton - 37 minutes in NIT exitThornton logged 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 79-77 loss to Georgia.
ImpactThornton has missed only one game all season for the Buckeyes, and although he was questionable Tuesday with an undisclosed injury, he ended up taking the court and even logging a triple-double. He'll close his sophomore season at Ohio State with averages of 15.7 points, 4.8 assists and 3.7 rebounds across 35 minutes. Should he stick with the program for next season, he'll be one of the top fantasy point guards in the Big Ten.
