Arizona State held Georgia's star freshman Anthony Edwards to one point in the second half and just 13 in the game as the Sun Devils beat the visiting Bulldogs 79-59 on Saturday night.

Edwards missed all five of his 3-point attempts.

Georgia (6-3) lost for the third time in five games. The Bulldogs had a brutal night shooting, especially from long range, where they connected on just 2 of 24 shots (eight percent) from 3-point range. Tye Fagan led Georgia with 15 points.

The Bulldogs hadn't played in 10 days, taking a break to get through the fall semester's exams. They looked rusty in their return.

The 6-foot-5 Edwards was productive early though, scoring 10 of Georgia's first 15 points and finishing the first half with 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting. The rest of the Bulldogs struggled, making just 6 of 20 before the break.

Remy Martin scored 23 points, Romello White had 18 points and 17 rebounds and Arizona State pulled away in the second half.

The Sun Devils (8-2) won their fifth straight game. Alonzo Verge Jr. added 15 points on 7-of-11 shooting.

White made three quick buckets early in the second half, using his powerful 6-foot-8, 235-pound body to finish through contact and help ASU build a 48-37 lead. He finished 7-for-8 from the field and grabbed six offensive rebounds.

Georgia returns home to host SMU on Friday.
