Former Eastern Kentucky guard Wendell Green Jr. scored the game-winner on a controversial drive with a lot of contact on no whistle:

Even with no whistle on the game-winning drive, Georgia failed to make free throws down the stretch and only managed a desperation half court heave at the buzzer.
If the Bulldogs make free throws, they likely pick up their first ever win over an AP No. 1 team today.
