NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — The Georgia Bulldogs pulled off a thrilling 66-63 upset over No. 22 St. John’s on Sunday, thanks in large part to a pivotal defensive play in the final seconds of the game.
Asa Newell led the charge for the Bulldogs, dropping 18 points in a hard-fought contest that went down to the wire. However, it was Silas Demary Jr. who stole the show with a crucial steal in the final moments that sealed the win for Georgia.
The Red Storm had battled back from a deficit and was on the verge of forcing a tie or even taking the lead. However, Demary Jr. anticipated a pass and picked it off, allowing the Bulldogs to regain possession and run out the clock.
With this massive win, Georgia is off to an electrifying start to its season, while St. John’s will be forced to regroup and reassess after a stunning upset. As the Bulldogs celebrate their hard-fought victory, the Red Storm is left to ponder what could have been, and Georgia fans are basking in the glory of their team's triumphant performance.
