Mark Fox: Georgia players elect to pass on postseason tournaments | Columbus Ledger-Enquirer

Georgia will decline a potential berth to a postseason tournament, former head coach Mark Fox revealed during a news conference Sunday afternoon.

When Fox met with his players, they discussed the possibility of him coaching the team through the NIT, if the Bulldogs were to receive a berth. Senior forward Yante Maten then called a players' only meeting, with the decision made to decline a bid if one is extended.

This means Georgia's season will end at 18-15 overall following its quarterfinal loss to Kentucky in the SEC Tournament.

Fox was fired Saturday after nine seasons as Georgia's head coach.
