Xavier rallies to knock out Georgia in NCAA play

The Xavier Musketeers trailed by 11 early in the second half of Thursday afternoon’s NCAA first-round game but rallied to defeat Georgia, 73-61, in Washington, D.C. The Bulldogs finished their season, which included a remarkable run through last weekend’s Southeastern Conference tournament, at 17-17. A Terrance Woodbury 3-pointer gave Georgia its last significant lead at 49-42, but Xavier countered with a 12-0 run and never trailed again. Woodbury led the Bulldogs with 16 points.
