Georgia basketball never trailed Tuesday night in a game the Bulldogs needed to have. UGA cut down on turnovers and snapped a 4-game losing skid

Georgia got out to its hottest start in quite some time and never looked back, taking down South Carolina 71-60 in the two teams’ 123rd all-time meeting.

Georgia (15-6, 3-5 SEC) pulled away early and South Carolina never led at Stegeman Coliseum. USC fought back to make it close midway through the period, but UGA outscored the Gamecocks 17-5 in the latter portion of the first half and led 35-21 at the break.
