ATHENS, Ga. (AP) Clemson transfer RJ Godfrey scored 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting and grabbed 11 rebounds and Silas Demary Jr. added 17 points to help Georgia beat North Florida 90-77 Tuesday night at the Peach State Classic.

Vanderbilt transfer Tyrin Lawrence scored 15, and freshman Asa Newell, a consensus five-star recruit, had 13 points and eight rebounds for Georgia. Blue Cain added 11 points and Dakota Leffew, an all-Metro-Atlantic Athletic Conference selection last season at Mount St. Mary’s, scored 10.

Godfey, who helped the Tigers make a run to the NCAA Tournament's Elite 8 last season, made a basket in the paint to open the scoring and Georgia (3-0) never trailed. Lawrence and Leffew hit 3-pointers 22 seconds apart to make it 18-9 about six minutes into the game and Godfrey scored six points in an 8-0 run - including dunks to open and close the spurt - that pushed the lead to 14 before the Bulldogs took a 43-31 lead into halftime.

Liam Murphy scored 16 consecutive North Florida points before Nate Lliteras hit a 3-pointer that pulled the Ospreys with 66-57 with 9:46 to play but Leffew answered with a 3 on the other end and Georgia led by double figures the rest of the way.

Murphy led North Florida with 22 points, including five 3-pointers, and Lliteras finished with 15 points. Kamrin Orion made four 3s and scored 14 and Josh Harris had 12 points.

North Florida (3-1) opened the season with three consecutive wins - including road wins over South Carolina in the opener and Georgia Tech (105-93) - for the first time since the 2015-16
