ATHENS, Ga. – Blue Cain's 20-point outburst led a quintet of Georgia Bulldogs (2-0) in double figures in a 91-77 victory over Presbyterian (0-2) on Friday night at Stegeman Coliseum.

FIVE FAST FACTS:
• Cain reached the 20-point plateau for the fifth time in his career and was joined in double figures by Kanon Catchings and Marcus "Smurf" Millender both with 12 points and Freddie Dilione V and Kareem Stagg added 10 points apiece.
• Sophomore Andrew Osasuyi provided eight points, nine rebounds and a pair of steals in just nine minutes of action off the bench.
• Georgia extended its non-conference home winning streak to 38 games, which is currently the seventh-longest span of success in the nation. The Bulldogs are 38-0 at home versus non-conference foes under Mike White.
• The Bulldogs led 38-35 with 3:58 left in the first half before closing out the period on an 8-1 run to build a double-digit 46-36 edge at the break. Georgia never allowed the Blue Hose closer than eight points in the second stanza.
• The Bulldogs' lead topped out at 18 points (90-72) with 2:36 left on the clock.

KEY QUOTES:
Georgia Head Coach Mike White
On James Scott……
"He's really smart. He's a super quick thinker. He's a high-level communicator. He really cares. He plays really hard. He does not take plays off. He's not perfect in that regard, but he's an A. You rarely see him taking a play off. If you just watch him sprint back on the defensive end and transition defense throughout the game, you just put him under the microscope, the dude is just sprinting. Plays super hard. He was good."

On how it felt getting Kareem Stagg back...
"Awesome. First play of the game. It's crazy how many times he's made a left corner three to start a game for us. He's gotten to where his confidence levels really improved in his footwork with his 3-point shot, and his pocket is really high. He's 6-8, and he's got really good length. You have got to get really close to him to make him bounce it if he's in rhythm. Sometimes it doesn't even look like he's open, but for him, he's actually open."

On playing Florida Gulf Coast Monday….
"Florida Gulf Coast is very good, the way they've played in this preseason has really opened up a lot of people's eyes with scores versus South Florida and Central Florida. They have obviously improved. It's a really good test for us. We've got some high major teams with big names down the road, but we'll make sure and we already had our guys' attention 10 minutes ago in the postgame locker room talk about Florida Gulf Coast. Pat [Chambers] has been around the block for a long time. Won a lot of games. They'll be physical. They'll be prepared. They'll execute well. Again, hopefully we can continue to make strides offensively."

KEY QUOTES:
Andrew Osasuyi | #34 | Forward
On winning the game at the glass...
"I try my best to get defensive rebounds. I try my hardest."

On continuing to grow defensively...
"I think it's really important, but other than that, there are other places where we need to be more disciplined. I think that we need to play better defense and be more connected."

Smurf Millender | #4 | Guard
On looking more connected on offense and overall gameplay thoughts….
"We went out there and did what we were supposed to do on the offensive end. On the defensive end, we need to be much better than what we did and what we displayed tonight, and that's just going to come with time and practice. "

On the team's confidence when shooting 3-point shots...
"Never a confidence issue. Every game is not going to be the best game for everybody. We got a lot of great looks tonight, all the guards in the gym, so those shots are going to fall."

UP NEXT:
Georgia will return to action on Monday when the Bulldogs host Florida Gulf Coast at 7:00 p.m. That will wrap up an eight-day, three-game homestand to begin the season. Information on tickets for Georgia Basketball – single-game, mini packages and neutral site games – can be found here.
