Bob Weltlich, sitting behind the far basket at the Scottrade Center, had a clear view of Kassius Robertson’s 3-point attempt that went long, securing Georgia’s 62-60 upset of Missouri in the second round of the SEC tournament.
“It’s been a big year for the SEC,” Weltlich said.
Weltlich was the head coach at Ole Miss from 1976-82. A member of the NIT selection committee, he’s now in charge of scouting the SEC for potential field members. His feel for the league is strong.
Weltlich on Thursday watched four games, from the Alabama-Texas A&M thriller to UGA’s shocker to South Carolina’s failed comeback attempt against Arkansas.
