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.

ATHENS — Georgia basketball coach Mike White made a change to his starting lineup for the first time all season. Mired in the midst of a four-game losing streak, White swapped in Dakota Leffew for Tyrin Lawrence. Given the way the Bulldogs responded on Tuesday’s night 71-60 win over South Carolina, it’s clear the move worked.

South Carolina was unable to find any offensive rhythm to start. The Gamecocks turned it over six times in the first six minutes of the game, which led to six Georgia points in the first half. Turnovers continue to be a problem for USC, which ranks last in the SEC in turnover margin. USC turned it over 10 times in the first half.
