Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles at Georgia Bulldogs
· NCAA Men's BasketballAsa Newell scores 26 points to tie Georgia's program record for a freshman in his debut
Newell made Georgia's first field goal — and its last. Tennessee Tech had a chance to cut its deficit to one possession with 2:50 remaining, but Newell had a chase-down block to prevent a layup and then scored on an offensive rebound at the other end to make it 78-71.
The six-foot-11 Newell was 13 of 22 from the field and also grabbed 11 rebounds.
Neither team led by double figures.
Georgia went 1 of 2 at the line for the second time in the final minute, but the Golden Eagles could not capitalize as Mekhi Cameron's long 3-pointer was off and the Bulldogs ran out the clock.
Dakota Leffew scored 18 points off the bench and made four 3-pointers for Georgia. Clemson transfer RJ Godfrey had 10 points and 10 rebounds for his first career double-double.
Cameron led Tennessee Tech with 21 points and Layton added 14. Jaylon Johnson had 12 points and seven assists.
Tennessee Tech is coming off a 10-21 campaign during coach John Pelphrey’s fifth season in Cookeville.
