ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Rashad Wright isn't much of a scorer for Georgia - unless he's taking one of the biggest shots of the game.

Wright made a tying 3-pointer with 5.4 seconds left in regulation and the 16th-ranked Bulldogs emerged from overtime with an improbable 82-75 victory over South Carolina on Wednesday night.

Just four days earlier, Wright hit a last-minute shot to beat LSU - not bad for a point guard whose main job is to pass the ball instead of shooting.

"Rashad Wright continues to be our savior," Georgia coach Jim Harrick said. "He's absolutely fearless in those situations."
