The Georgia Bulldogs were in desperate need of a spirit-boosting win on Wednesday night after two straight losses to open up SEC play, and they got it in the form of an 80-63 home domination of the Tennessee Volunteers.
The Dawgs took control of this game from the opening tip, with freshman phenom Anthony Edwards pouring in 20 points in the opening half to make it his highest scoring first half of the season. Georgia led by double digits throughout most of the first half and all of the second half.
The Dawgs shot a flaming 44% from three-point range and 48% percent overall from the field, a stark contrast from their cold shooting outing in Auburn days ago. Edwards would finish with 26 points including 7/8 from the charity stripe.
Georgia now sets it sights on a road contest against Mississippi State on Saturday.
