Catchings, Cain Serve as 1-2 Punch for Georgia as Bulldogs Pull Comeback Win over North Carolina
Georgia hit 14 3-pointers and got 22 points from Kanon Catchings to hand North Carolina its first loss under Michael Malone.
- On Friday night in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the Georgia Bulldogs defeated the North Carolina Tar Heels 78-70, ending the Tar Heels' 21-game home win streak. Kanon Catchings scored 22 points and Blue Cain added 20 to lead the late rally.
- North Carolina entered the game undefeated at 3-0, marking the first loss for first-year coach Michael Malone. The Tar Heels overcame a seven-point halftime deficit to briefly lead but struggled generating consistent offense in the final 10 minutes.
- The Bulldogs benefited from 14 baskets from 3-point range, with Catchings making five and Cain four. Despite Terrence Brown scoring 21 points for North Carolina, the Tar Heels shot just 25% from the field in the first half, hindering early momentum.
- Late-Game execution proved decisive as Cain sank a long three-pointer with 1:01 left to extinguish any comeback hopes. The Bulldogs outscored North Carolina 20-8 in the final six minutes to secure the victory.
- The undefeated Bulldogs, now 4-0 for the third straight year, host Jacksonville on Monday. The Tar Heels face Marshall on November 20 as they seek to rebound from this loss at the Smith Center.
