Three days after giving up 115 points on the road at Alabama, the Georgia Bulldogs bounced back to beat the Missouri Tigers 80-70 at Stegeman Coliseum. Tuesday night was the first time that a ranked team has visited Athens this year, and the Bulldogs made the most of their opportunity against No. 20 Missouri.
Graduate transfer Justin Kier finally snapped out of a shooting slump, where he was 2-of-14 in his last two games. Kier was Georgia’s leading scorer with 16 points and only missed one of his seven shots. Georgia also displayed one of its best closing efforts of the season, turning a double-digit deficit into a double-digit win.
