ATHENS, Ga. — The Georgia Bulldogs (16-10, 4-9 SEC) fell to the No. 21 Missouri Tigers (19-6, 8-4 SEC), 87-74, on Saturday evening at Stegeman Coliseum. Three scorers reached double figures headlined by freshman forward Asa Newell's 23 point-10 rebound double-double.

Fast Facts
• After Newell's 23 point-performance, sophomore guards Silas Demary Jr. and Blue Cain followed up with 16 and 14 points, respectively.
• Newell posted his sixth double-double of the season and his third with 20+ points.
• RJ Godfrey matched his season high three blocks, doing so in back-to-back games after setting his season mark in his previous outing against Texas A&M.
• Newell tallied three blocks against the Tigers, marking his fifth game with three or more blocks this season.
• Demary Jr. knocked down three 3-pointers on the evening, marking back-to-back games with three or more triples and his fourth of the season.

Key Quote
"It was actually one of our better offensive SEC games," head coach Mike White said. "You get a few stops, that 74 might be 85, just couldn't collect stops. Our guards did a poor job overall helping our bigs rebound the basketball. They had 3-point shooters literally get their own rebound. You don't see that much, so just not a great effort there. That said again, the positives are that we needed some better things offensively."

Up Next
The Bulldogs will travel and face No. 1 Auburn on Saturday, Feb. 22 with tipoff set at 4 p.m. ET at Neville Arena. The game will be televised on ESPN2.
