Gerald Robinson, Jr. dished to an open Jeremy Price, who banked in the winning shot with one second left to lead the Georgia Bulldogs over the Saint Louis Billikens 61-59.

The win was the first in an opponent’s arena since a March 2009 victory at Kentucky. Georgia is now 1-11 in true road games under head coach Mark Fox.

Georgia trailed by as many as 14 in the second half, but a 13-0 run by the Dawgs got them back into the game.

Travis Leslie led the Bulldogs with 19 points. Jeermy Price scored 16 and Gerald Robinson, Jr. and Dustin Ware each added 10.

The Hoop Dawgs played their third straight game without star forward Trey Thompkins, who is out with a high ankle sprain he suffered before the season started.

Next up for Georgia (3-0, 0-0 SEC) is the Old Spice Classic in Orlando, Florida. The Dawgs open on Thursday, November 25 against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (3-0, 0-0 Big East). The game will be televised by ESPN at 7:00 p.m. ET.

If the Dawgs win, they will face the winner of the Temple-California game on Friday, November 26 at 5:00 p.m. (ESPN2).
