With a big weekend coming up against Marquette and St. John’s, Tuesday night’s game against Alabama A&M was a final opportunity for Georgia to fine-tune its game before stepping up to the contest.

Overall, the Bulldogs liked what they saw after rolling to a 93-45 victory and improving to 5-0.

“We’re just kind of focused on ourselves and growing every game, so we’re just looking at how we performed and what we can do to get better,” says the sophomore guard. Blue Cain said. “I think we did a good job. Like last year, we struggled to really close teams out and I thought we came out and did that. It was coach (Mike) White’s The big point at halftime was just to finish the game and I thought we did a good job of that.”

Really.

After jumping out to a 45-25 halftime lead, Georgia outscored Alabama A&M 47-20 for its largest margin of victory since a 60-point 97-37 victory over Southern University in 2006.

“We didn’t find a good offensive rhythm. We happened to be bigger and longer, obviously, and our offensive rebounding talent took over in the paint,” White said. “I thought we did a really good job of drawing fouls and fighting through contact. It was, of course, a real physical battle. And then I thought, for the most part, did a pretty good job defensively. I loved the way we finished the right way by getting some stops, especially down the stretch in the last four minutes. We had guys out there that didn’t get a ton of opportunities that ended in a 9-0 run if I’m not mistaken. I loved the selflessness.”

Georgia was able to spread the wealth.

All but one player scored for the Bulldogs, led by Asa Newell with 17, Silas Demary Jr. with 15, Tyrin Lawrence with 12, and Somto Cyril with a season-high 11.

Cyril also grabbed nine rebounds and blocked three of Georgia’s seven shots in 21:45 of playing time.

“Sonto is going to be really good, really, really good,” Newell said. “He brings it every day in practice and it shows out there on the floor tonight.”

Georgia returns to action this weekend when the Bulldogs travel to the Bahamas to take on Marquette on Saturday before playing St. John’s Sunday afternoon.
