More Georgia basketball notes courtesy of @dave_mc_stats after Georgia's 94-62 win over Texas Southern.

…Freshman Savo Drezgic made his first appearance of the year in the first half and immediately made a contribution with a basket from three-point range for his first collegiate points.

…The 28 points marked the largest margin of victory by a Mike White-led Georgia team (the previous high was 22)

…The 23 rebounds by Texas Southern were the fewest allowed by Georgia since allowing 22 at Texas A&M on Feb 22, 2022.

…The 12 blocks by Georgia was the most by the team since having 12 vs Vanderbilt on Jan 9, 2019 – the last time above 12 was on Nov 19, 2007, vs Jacksonville State.

…This was the 2nd time under White that Georgia has had 30 free throws made (the other was Dec 1, 2023, vs Mercer) – the last time above 30 was on Nov 18, 2014, vs Stony Brook)

…Dakota Leffew had 4 and 5 3-point field goals made in his last 2 games played with Mount St Mary’s. With the first two games as a Georgia Bulldog, he now has 4+ 3-pt FG made in four straight games (his longest career streak). He had 3 in a row from Jan 7 to Jan 19)

…Blue Cain’s double-double was the first by a Bulldogs guard since Jabri Abdur-Rahim against Notre Dame in 2022.

…Silas Demary Jr. became the 2nd Georgia player under White to have 15+ points, 5+ rebounds, 5+ assists in a game (Terry Roberts did it four times).

…Asa Newell became the first Georgia player with three-plus blocks in back-to-back games since Nic Claxton in his last two games of 2018-19.

Next Opponent: North Florida

North Florida jumped from 253 to 139 in KenPom in the first week of the season after going 3-0, including two buy game wins at Top 100 Power Conference programs (south Carolina and Ga. Tech).

Not bad for the team picked to finish 7th in the ASUN preseason coaches poll.


NEW VIDEO: Breaking Down North Florida's Offense

Taking a look at how one of the surprises of the early season has upset both South Carolina and Georgia Tech:











North Florida is worth your attention!​

“Only one D-I team is 3-0 with multiple wins over power conference foes: the North Florida Ospreys!

This team was expected to take a step back after losing Chaz Lanier to Tennessee, but that has been anything but the case. Head coach Matthew Driscoll led his team to an upset victory over South Carolina on opening night, only to follow it up with a 24-point victory over Charleston Southern and a 105-93 victory over Georgia Tech on Sunday. The Ospreys led by as many as 21 points in the second half against the Yellow Jackets, too, showing that the game wasn’t a fluke.

“It’s an amazing thing when you’re not afraid and you believe in something,” Driscoll said in his postgame press conference. “In this new landscape of college athletics, everybody is worried about this, that and the other, when in reality … what matters is how you pour into [the players].”

Driscoll also noted that the UNF system was always more than just one star.

“That’s the beauty of this group. When you come to play for us, there’s a standard,” he said. “And the standard is the standard: We shoot a lot of 3s. We make a lot of 3s. Tonight, they made more 3s than us, but we shot 74 percent at the rim. Pick what you want to take away, and we’re going to attack whatever that looks like.”

UNF’s top-100 KenPom offense has sparked this run. Six different players scored in double figures against Georgia Tech, headlined by Josh Harris’ 22 points. Against South Carolina, it was Jaylen Smith and Liam Murphyproviding the firepower.

That scoring depth is something few teams have, especially in the ASUN. The Ospreys now face Georgia on Tuesday, where another big-name upset may be brewing.“
