The Georgia Bulldogs knocked off the LSU Tigers thanks to a clutch shot from guard Justin Hill. Georgia’s 65-63 win over LSU moves the Dawgs to 16-10. Georgia is 6-7 in conference play.
LSU drops to 12-14. The Tigers have only one SEC win this season.
First year head coach Mike White and Georgia have now won as many SEC games (six) as the total number of games Georgia won last season (six). The Bulldogs struggled a bit offensively against LSU.
However, Georgia held LSU to only 38.5% shooting. Georgia went just 15 of 26 from the free throw line and did not play its best game.
Center Braelen Bridges was Georgia’s leading scorer with 13 points. LSU’s KJ Williams paced the Tigers with 18 points.
Overall, Georgia is now 13-2 at home. However, the Bulldogs have to find a way to win on the road if they want to make some noise in the SEC. Georgia is 1-7 on the road.
Next, Georgia plays at No. 1 Alabama on Saturday, Feb. 18 at 6:00 p.m. ET.
Here’s a look at Justin Hill’s clutch shot to give Georgia the lead in the final seconds of the game:
