It was good for the program to get off to a good start after finishing last season on a six-game losing streak that left the program 16-16.

White’s team is expected by some to make a jump this season and could finish in the top half of the SEC with the size and talent assembled.

Russel Tchewa, Georgia’s 7-foot, fifth-year senior transfer from South Florida, had 14 points to share scoring honors with fifth-year senior transfer guard Noah Thomasson (Niagara).

Dylan James, a 6-foot-9 freshman forward from Winter Haven, Fla., who was ranked the No. 78 player in the nation in the 2023 class, had 9 points and a team-high 15 rebounds.

Justin Hill, one of four returning players who finished last season running the point, filled up the stat sheet with 7 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
