11Alive's UGA Insider Radi Nabulsi confirmed Saturday that Georgia has fired head basketball coach Mark Fox.

The Bulldogs only won two games in the SEC Tournament this week, but ran out of steam against Kentucky in the quarterfinals.

When asked about a possible invitation to the NIT Tournament, Fox gave an answer that suggested as if he had not thought about whether or not he would still have his job by that point.

"My entire focus-- as I said before the tournament-- is on trying to get these kids some wins, and trying to make sure they have the most incredible season they can have. We felt like we can come into the tournament and win it, and we knew that fatigue would eventually be something we would have to overcome. We've been 100 percent focused on that. Solely that. I haven't really thought much about the rest of it," Fox said at the time.
