COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Henry Coleman III and Tyrece Radford scored 15 points apiece and Texas A&M beat Georgia 82-57 Saturday night.

Dexter Dennis added 12 points for Texas A&M (16-7, 8-2 SEC).

The Aggies have won four in a row, and eight of their last nine, against Georgia (14-9, 4-6).

Terry Roberts, who leads the Bulldogs in scoring (15.0 per game), assists (4.2) and steals (1.7), did not play (concussion protocols).

Radford hit a 3-pointer to give the Bulldogs a 15-2 lead about five minutes into the game and Dennis capped a 13-0 run — including his fast-break dunk off a Wade Taylor IV steal and assist — with a 3-pointer that made it 28-7 with 6:43 left in the first half.

Georgia, which made 7 of 29 (24%) from the field and shot 21% (4 of 19) from 3-point range in the first half, trailed by double figures the rest of the way.
