UGA head men's basketball coach Mark Fox lost his dad five days ago and his Bulldogs team went to Columbia to play the 21st-ranked team in the country... and the team that was ranked 242nd in the RPI came out with an emotional win.
Fox tried to get home to Kansas in time after the Bulldogs game in Washington, D.C. on Friday, but didn’t make it before his dad passed. He went home to Kansas on Saturday, returned to Athens to prep the team before the Missouri game on Sunday and Monday. He went back to Kansas Tuesday before meeting the team in Columbia.
“To win at an old Big Eight school the day after my father passed was very special for me,” Fox told reporters postgame.
Here's the quick version of the highlights as they won 70-64 in overtime...
But leave it to the Mizzou fan base to mock Fox when he broke down on the bench late in overtime...

Stay classy, Tigers...
