Senior Drew Kramer scored a school-record 27 points as the No. 24-ranked Georgia Gwinnett College men's basketball team made a season-high 16 3-point field goals to open the new year with an 87-78 victory at Bryan College on Saturday afternoon in Dayton, Tennessee.

The Grizzlies (12-4) had four double-figure scorers and made 48.2 percent of their shots in returning to the court after a 17-day holiday break in the schedule.

GGC opened the contest by scoring the first nine points. Kramer then scored 12 straight points midway through the first half as the visitors built a 32-14 advantage with 6:04 left in the first half.

After leading 40-29 at halftime, the Grizzlies made seven of their first 10 shots to open the second half to push the team's advantage to 61-40 after a layup by freshman Amari Morgan at the 14:13 mark.

A 3-point field goal by senior Anthony Bittar once again gave GGC a 21-point lead, at 66-45, with 10:52 remaining. He scored 11 points in his first start of the season.

Later, freshman Mario Hill Jr. connected on a shot from behind the 3-point arc that gave the Grizzlies a 69-52 lead with 8:35 left. Hill had a career-high 18 points in the contest.

Kramer made eight of his 13 shots, including 6-of-11 in 3-pointers, to account for his 27 points. That topped the team's previous season-high 24 points scored by junior Devontre Chaney on two occasions.

Junior Jahiem Berry chipped in 12 points and freshman Patrick Johnson came off the bench to add 10 points, all coming in the second half.

GGC has a 4-2 record during its eight-game road swing.
