ATHENS, Ga. (AP) Asa Newell scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead Georgia to a 71-60 victory over South Carolina on Tuesday night.

Georgia (15-6, 3-5 Southeastern Conference) snapped a four-game skid while South Carolina (10-11, 0-8) extended its losing streak to eight games.

Jamarii Thomas scored 16 of his 19 points in the second half to lead South Carolina. Collin Murray-Boyles added 18 points.

Georgia opened on a 14-3 run and led 35-21 at the break. Demary Jr. scored 10 first-half points and Newell and James added eight apiece. Blue Cain's 3-pointer with 4:44 left gave the Bulldogs their largest lead, 63-47, with 4:44 to play.
