The Georgia Bulldogs basketball team got a much-needed home win on Monday night against Austin Peay.

The game was relatively close at the half, as both teams came out of the gates slow in the first half and the Dawgs led 31-26 after 20 minutes.

However, after the break, things picked up dramatically for UGA as they would outscore Austin Peay by 25 points in the second half en route to a final score of 78-48.

The Dawgs were once again led in scoring by Rayshawn Hammonds, who logged 17 points on 8/12 shooting. UGA also shot an impressive 38% from three-point range, a key factor in the victory.

The Dawgs now set their sights on a tough road test Saturday against the ninth-ranked Memphis Tigers.
