The Georgia Gwinnett College men's basketball team relied on a balanced offensive attack to pick up a 91-79 victory against Stillman College (Alabama) in Thursday evening's Area Code Night in the Convocation Center.

Senior Drew Kramer led four double-figure scorers for GGC with 19 points, while classmate Deonte' Martinez chipped in 17 points. Senior Manny Montgomery came off the bench to score 12 points and junior Devontre Chaney had a strong all-around performance with a double-double of 10 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.

The Grizzlies (4-2) connected on seven 3-point field goals and made 56.3 percent of their shots in the first half.

A dunk from senior Ezzy Dawson Jr. gave the hosts a 22-12 advantage near the midway point of the first half. Martinez's 3-pointer at the 8:16 mark gave the team a 31-18 lead.

GGC closed out the first half with a 10-2 offensive run to grab a 49-32 halftime advantage.

A fast break layup by Kramer stretched the margin to 19 points, at 51-32, early in the second half. Freshman Mario Hill Jr. made a layup to give the Grizzlies a 68-48 lead with 11:55 remaining.

Overall, GGC made 55.2 percent of its field goals and its bench players contributed mightily, outscoring Stillman (0-2) by a 40-23 margin.

The team has won all three home games this season.


 
Coach's Corner
"It was good to be back at home (after three straight road games). In general, we were pretty good on offense. It got a little sloppy in the second half, but we did a good job of getting to the rim. We have work to do on the defensive end. It is good to get the win, but there is a lot that needs to be cleaned up for us," said Head Coach Chase Teichmann.
 
Turning Point
The Grizzlies were efficient offensively in the first half, making 56.3 percent of their shots, with seven 3-point field goals and only three turnovers. Those strong statistics paved the way for the team to post a 17-point halftime lead, at 49-32.
