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. In total, the Bulldogs had four players scoring in double figures, led by Kario Oquendo with 15 points going 6-of-7 from the free throw line. Jabri Abdur-Rahim, Justin Hill and Terry Roberts all added 12 points of their own, with Abdur-Rahim and Hill playing just 16 and 18 minutes, respectively.

Georgia’s championship game in the Sunshine Slam is tomorrow against UAB at 4 p.m. ET and will be televised on the CBS Sports Network. This will mark the first game between the Bulldogs and the Blazers since December 3, 2010, in which Georgia won 66-64. UGA holds a 3-1 record against UAB all-time.
