BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) After Charles Mann and Kenny Gaines turned in their latest memorable performances, the celebratory hollers of the Georgia Bulldogs could be heard through the door to the visitors' locker room at LSU's Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

The Bulldogs didn't need to beat the Tigers to secure a top-four seed and coveted double-bye in next week's Southeastern Conference tournament, but their motivation was more personal than that, and it showed on Saturday.

Mann had 22 points and 10 rebounds, Gaines buried six of seven 3-point attempts on his way to 20 points, and Georgia took home 69-61 triumph that spoiled LSU's senior day.
