Georgia Upsets No. 22 St. John’s in Bahamas Championship

Freshman Asa Newell leads Georgia to a narrow 66-63 victory, capitalizing on St. John’s poor shooting performance.

Georgia overcame 24 turnovers to hand St. John’s a 66-63 loss, marking the Bulldogs' sixth win of the season.
Asa Newell scored 18 points, including a critical late-game dunk, while Silas Demary Jr. added 15 points and a decisive steal in the closing seconds.
St. John’s struggled offensively, shooting just 31.1% from the field and 10.5% from three-point range, including a 0-for-9 first half from beyond the arc.
Zuby Ejiofor led St. John’s with 22 points and eight rebounds, but key turnovers and missed opportunities sealed their defeat.
This loss caps a disappointing Bahamas trip for St. John’s, which also included a double-overtime loss to No. 13 Baylor, raising questions about the team’s consistency and offensive execution.
