UPI ATLANTA -- “Joe Ward wanted it clearly understood that the Georgia basketball team pulled off a come-from-behind, 60-59, victory over 14th-ranked Georgia Tech Tuesday night for itself, not to avenge the Bulldogs football loss 10 days earlier to the Yellow Jackets.
'Basketball and football are entirely different,' said Ward, a 6-foot-6 junior forward who got the final two of his game-high 20 points with just five seconds left to play. 'Sure, we were aware that some of our fans were anxious for us to even things up. But our desire to beat Georgia Tech would have been just as intense even if our football team had won.'
Georgia, 3-1 and unranked, trailed previously unbeaten Georgia Tech (now also 3-1) by five points, at 59-54, with just over two minutes left to play. Ward cut it to three, junior guard Donald Hartry cut it to one with 55 seconds left on a turnaround jumper, and Georgia got the ball for the last time with 19 seconds left when Tech forward John Salley committed an offensive foul.
The Bulldogs, who have now beaten Tech seven straight times over a five-season span, called time out to set up the hoped-for winning shot and Ward came through from the top of the key.
'It was a play we work on all the time,' said Georgia coach Hugh Durham.
Ward, who had only eight points at halftime when the score was tied at 33, said he knew the winning shot was going in when it left his hand. 'I followed through just like Coach is always telling me to do. I wanted it to be right -- and it was.'
Georgia Tech had six men on the court when Georgia came down court for its winning field goal. Scott Petway had gone in at center for Yvon Joseph and when Joseph didn't leave, freshman forward Duane Ferrell went to the sideline.
'What can you say?' asked Tech Coach Bobby Cremins. 'We had a little confusion there at the end. We substituted Petway for Joseph and Yvon didn't hear the substitution.
The favored Yellow Jackets led by four points early, fell behind by five with five minutes to play in the first half and tied it at the halftime buzzer when 7-foot freshman Antoine Ford tipped in a rebound.
Tech jumped back into the lead at the start of the second half and stayed there until Ward's winning goal.
Georgia unveiled its highly touted 6-8 freshman Cedric Henderson, who only became eligible this week because of previous academic problems. But Henderson, playing only seven minutes, was 0-for-3 from the floor and 0-for-2 from the free throw line while committing two turnovers and two fouls.
'We put him into a high-voltage situation,' said Durham. 'We were playing before the biggest crowd (16,119) ever to attend a college basketball game in the state of Georgia and in an extremely high-pressure game. It might have been better to let him wait until our next game, at home against Georgia State, but he was chomping at the bit. he really wanted to get in there.'
