Quenton Jackson scored a career-high-tying 31 points on a near-perfect shooting performance to lead Texas A&M to a 91-77 victory over visiting Georgia in a Southeastern Conference game on Tuesday in College Station, Texas.

Jackson went 11-for-11 from the field, including 3-for-3 from 3-point range, and made 6 of 7 from the free-throw line while adding four assists and six steals for the Aggies (17-11, 6-9 SEC). Texas A&M has won two of its past three games following an eight-game losing streak.

Henry Coleman III scored 15 points on 6-for-6 shooting from the field for Texas A&M, which never led by fewer than seven points in the second half. Manny Obaseki, Hassan Diarra and Tyrece Radford had 10 points apiece for the Aggies, while Andre Gordon chipped in eight.

Georgia (6-22, 1-14) was led by Kario Oquendo, who scored a career-high 33 points on 12-for-22 shooting from the field and 6-for-13 from beyond the arc, to go along with a game-high seven rebounds. Braelen Bridges added 10 points and four rebounds for Georgia, which has lost eight straight and 16 of its past 17 games.

The Aggies shot 56.1 percent (32-for-57) from the field, including 34.8 percent (8-for-23) from 3-point-range, in addition to converting Georgia's 20 turnovers into 25 points and outscoring the Bulldogs 46-24 in the paint.

After trailing 21-14 midway through the first half, Texas A&M took control of the game en route to defeating the Bulldogs for second time this season and for the seventh time in the teams' past eight meetings.

The Aggies went on a 14-0 run to take a 28-21 lead following Gordon's 3-pointer with 7:33 left in the first half.

Texas A&M, which stretched its lead to 48-37 at halftime, was led by Jackson's 17 points on 6-for-6 shooting, including 3-for-3 from distance, in the opening 20 minutes.

The Aggies shot 56.7 percent (17-for-30) from the field, including 40 percent (6-for-15) from beyond the arc, in addition to scoring 13 points off Georgia's 11 turnovers.

Oquendo, who scored 18 points on 6-for-12 shooting from the field, including 3-for-7 from beyond the arc, was the only Bulldog who scored more than four first-half points.
