All five Georgia starters scored in double figures to lead a decisive 98-76 rout of Mississippi on Saturday in Oxford, Miss.
The Bulldogs (13-3, 2-1 SEC) never trailed after scoring the first seven points of the game. An 11-2 spurt late in the first half stretched the lead to 53-33, and the Rebels got no closer than 13 points the rest of the way.
Georgia shot 66.7 percent in the first half and maintained that torrid pace through much of the second half, hitting 30 of its first 45 field-goal attempts. The Bulldogs finished the game at 63.5 percent (33 of 52).
Gerald Robinson led Georgia with 22 points, while Trey Thompkins added 21 and Travis Leslie finished with 17.
Zach Graham scored 21 points to pace Ole Miss (12-6, 0-3) in defeat
