Asa Newell scored a game-high 17 points to help lead Georgia to a 93-45 win over visiting Alabama A&M on Tuesday in Athens, Ga.

Silas Demary Jr. added 15 for Georgia (5-0), which extended its best start to a season since beginning 7-0 in 2020-21. Tyrin Lawrence had 12 points and a team-high five assists, while Somto Cyril chipped in 11 points and a game-high nine rebounds off the bench.

Dylan Mclean's 11 points led Alabama A&M (3-2), which dropped its second straight. Chad Moodie added eight points Alabama A&M, which shot just 29.6 percent from the field, as opposed to Georgia's 52.8 percent mark.

After Mclean's triple gave Alabama A&M a small lead with 16:16 left in the first half, Georgia answered with an 11-0 run, punctuated with Cyril's dunk and Demary's free throws to make it 16-8 at the 13:34 mark.

Leading 28-18, Georgia blew the game open with a 15-3 run before Mclean's mid-range jumper cut Alabama A&M's deficit to 43-23 with 1:08 left.

Savo Drezgic stamped the first-half scoring with a 3-pointer with 28 seconds left, growing Georgia's halftime-lead to 46-25. Demary led Georgia in the first half with 10 points, while Mclean paced Alabama A&M with eight.

From there, Mclean and Saliou Seye each knocked down triples as Alabama A&M began the second half on a 6-2 spurt.

Georgia then answered as Demary's layup jump started a 14-0 run that Blue Cain (nine points) capped with a 3-pointer with 15:14 remaining, giving Georgia a 62-31 advantage.

Lawrence's three-point play with eight minutes to go extended Georgia's lead to 80-41, before the Bulldogs were held without a field goal until the 3:13 mark, when Cyril's dunk pushed the advantage to 86-45.
