UGA Men’s Basketball: Bulldogs Finish as Runner-Up at Sunshine Slam

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The Georgia Bulldogs were unable to overcome an impressive second half from the UAB Blazers Tuesday night at the Ocean Center, falling in the championship game of the Greenlight Sunshine Slam by an 87-73 score.

Justin Hill led the Bulldogs in scoring for the fourth time this season, finishing with 17 points and four rebounds. Braelen Bridges added a season-best 10 points and seven boards, while Kario Oquendo had 12 points of his own. The production off the bench was again a bright spot for UGA, providing 36 points, highlighted by Bridges and Hill. The Blazers’ Jordan “Jelly” Walker led all scorers with 30 points while shooting 50% from the field.

“We were decent defensively in the first half, but I think in the second half it was more about UAB’s offensive output,” said head coach Mike White. “They got it going. We missed a couple of layups, missed a couple of open ones. They went on a run to build a seven-point lead, and the game was just different from then on.”

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The Georgia Bulldogs created enough separation in the first half to fend off the Saint Joseph’s Hawks’ comeback attempts in the second, winning the game 66-53 on Monday evening at the Ocean Center and advancing to the championship of the Greenlight Sunshine Slam.

Georgia’s bench impressed, putting up 29 of its 66 points.

UGA Football: Bulldogs Playing ‘Like We Have Something To Prove’

It’s not like the Georgia football team isn’t aware of the incredible run the Bulldogs have been on for more than two years. The guys know, and the returning players have a big national championship ring to remind them of what happened last season, but one of the keys to sustaining success is not being caught up in that success.

Easier said than done.

“It’s just our standard,” senior running back Kenny McIntosh said this week as the undefeated and No. 1-ranked Bulldogs wrap up SEC play at Kentucky. “Every week, we know what we’ve got to do. It’s just another opponent, somebody in our way. … You go out and practice hard, and the game should take care of itself.”
