Junior guard J.J. Frazier scored 26 points and senior guard Kenny Gaines added 23 to lead Georgia to an 80-66 victory over Ole Miss on Saturday in Southeastern Conference play at Athens, Ga.

Sophomore forward Yante Maten added 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulldogs (15-12, 8-8 SEC). Frazier and Gaines combined to make all 10 of the Bulldogs' 3-pointers -- five apiece -- as Georgia snapped a three-game losing streak.

Senior forward Anthony Perez had 19 points and nine rebounds for the Rebels (18-11, 8-8). Senior guard Stefan Moody scored 15 points and senior forward Tomasz Gielo had 13 points.

Moody, the SEC's leading scorer at 23 points per game, was just 5-of-13 shooting.

Ole Miss knocked down five 3-pointers over the first five-plus minutes of the second half to take a 49-41 lead. A short time later, the Bulldogs rolled off nine straight points and moved ahead 52-51 on Frazier's 3-pointer with 12:16 to play.

The Rebels trailed by two points after a 3-pointer by junior guard Rasheed Brooks with 8:20 to play before Georgia put together a decisive 12-1 burst. Frazier hit back-to-back 3-pointers and Maten scored on a putback to end the surge as the Bulldogs possessed a 72-59 advantage with 4:37 to play.

In the first half, Georgia used a 10-0 run that included two 3-pointers from Gaines to open up a 25-13 lead with 8:30 left. The Rebels later rattled off 13 straight points to take a 29-27 advantage before the Bulldogs took a 33-32 edge into the break.
