UGA fell to Iowa on Sunday in an incredibly close game in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

After an upset win over seven seed FSU on Friday in the first round of the tournament, Iowa defeated them 74-66.

Georgia was in it until almost the end when a trio of turnovers deflated UGA's sweet sixteen hopes.
