Georgia is 2-0 on the young season, defeating Bryant and USC Upstate by an average of 17.0 points per game.

 

Yante Maten, a National Player of the Year candidate and preseason SEC Player of the Year honoree, leads the Bulldogs averages of 21.5 point and 13.0 rebounds per game. With back-to-back double-doubles to open the year, Maten now has 64 double-digit scoring outputs, 19 double-figure rebound counts and 18 double-doubles in his Georgia career.

 

Freshman Rayshaun Hammonds also has been impressive. He celebrated his birthday on Nov. 10 by becoming the first Bulldog freshman to start a season opener since Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in 2011. Hammonds is scoring 15.0 points – while shooting an eye-catching 72.2 percent from the floor – and 7.0 rebounds in his first two outings.

 

Turtle Jackson rounds out the double-figure scorers. He has notched career-high offensive performances in each game, putting up 11 points against Bryant and then 13 versus USC Upstate.

 

Texas A&M-Corpus Christi arrives in Athens with a 1-2 record, including a loss at No. 25 Baylor on Monday night.
