Starkville, MS (Sports Network) - Gerald Robinson netted eight of his 13 points in overtime and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 20 points and eight rebounds as Georgia upset No. 20 Mississippi State, 70-68.

Dee Bost had a chance to win it for Mississippi State in the extra session, but his leaning three-pointer from the right wing was short of the rim as time expired.
