No. 1/1 Alabama Dominates Georgia 108-59 to Earn its Largest Win over the Bulldogs in Series History
The No. 1/1 Alabama men's basketball team dominated from start to finish on its way to a 108-59 victory over Georgia Saturday night in Coleman Coliseum. The Crimson Tide's point total marked a school-record tying fifth game of 100 points or more, while the 49-point margin of victory was UA's largest-ever win over the Bulldogs.
The Crimson Tide (23-4, 13-1 SEC) shot a season-best 61.9 percent (39-of-63) from the field in the effort, while holding the Bulldogs to just 37.5 percent (21-of-56). Additionally, Alabama connected on 16 three-pointers (16-of-34) compared to only four makes from beyond the arc for Georgia, and outrebounded the Bulldogs, 49-26.
Alabama jumped out to a fast start on both ends of the court in the opening stanza and never looked back, opening a 54-25 lead at halftime. The Tide would go on to lead by as many as 50 points late in the game before collecting its third SEC win of 40 ore more points this season.
Brandon Miller led five UA players in double figures, scoring 21 points to record his 10th 20-point game of the year. In the first half, Miller became the fastest player to 500 points in program history, joining Collin Sexton and James "Hollywood" Robinson as the only three freshman to reach the mark.
