Georgia 68, Tennessee 62: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 24 points, including back-to-back baskets inside the final 90 seconds, to help the visiting Bulldogs win their fourth in a row.

Caldwell-Pope’s drive in the lane with 1:34 remaining gave Georgia (11-11, 5-4 SEC) a 63-58 advantage. The SEC’s second-leader scorer drained a 3-pointer from the top of the key on the next possession to push the Bulldogs’ lead to 66-58.

Jordan McRae scored 17 points for Tennessee (11-10, 3-6). Jarnell Stokes recorded his fourth consecutive double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

Kenny Gaines came off the bench to score a career-high 12 points for Georgia while Vincent Williams added 10 points.

Georgia led 35-26 at halftime and held an eight-point advantage in the early moments of the second half. Tennessee played its way back into the game, using an 11-3 surge to tie the score at 43 on McRae’s three-point play with 13:28 remaining.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Georgia’s four-game winning streak is its longest in SEC play since 2003. … Tennessee played without PG Trae Golden, who missed his second consecutive game with a strained right hamstring. … The Bulldogs drilled a season-high 11 3-pointers, five of which came from Caldwell-Pope, who shot 5-of-7 beyond the arc.
