Mississippi State beat Georgia, 68-67, on Wednesday night. The game’s M.V.P.: a stuffed bulldog.
With the score tied at 67-67 and a half-second to play, Quinndary Weatherspoon was sent to the line for visiting Mississippi State.
Georgia fans were unhappy with the foul call and made their displeasure known. Apparently, one fan was incensed enough to take it beyond booing.
After Weatherspoon’s first free throw left his hands, something small hit the floor a foot or two behind him. It was a stuffed baby bulldog. Although the bulldog is the mascot of both teams, this particular dog appeared to be Uga, the mascot of Georgia.
