The Georgia Bulldogs have matched their win total from last season. Georgia is now 6-2 after defeating Hampton 73-54. The Bulldogs have improved defensively and have more overall talent on the roster.
Georgia’s roster continuity is another big reason why the Bulldogs are having a much more successful this season. Returning starter Braelen Bridges accumulated 21 points and 13 rebounds in just 25 minutes against Hampton. Point guard Justin Hill, a transfer from Longwood, did not score in 31 minutes, but provided six assists and did not turn the ball over.
Georgia shot the ball well as a team against Hampton. The Bulldogs made 10 of 20 three-point attempts. Jailyn Ingram, who just returned from an ACL injury, continues to be a key player for the Dawgs. Ingram racked up 14 points and three boards in only 20 minutes.
Georgia went 6-26 last season. The Dawgs lost the final 12 games of the year.
Things are looking brighter in the Mike White era. Georgia has signed two four-star players in the class of 2023. Overall, there’s a lot of reasons why Georgia fans should be optimistic about the basketball program.
