Automatic from 3: Hodge, Honor lead Mizzou Hoops to dominant win over Georgia

Missouri men’s basketball graduate guard D’Moi Hodge looked automatic from 3-point range Saturday in Athens, displaying his ability to shoot lights out and alter the trajectory of the game.

Hodge drilled six-of-11 3-pointers en route to an 18-point display to lead the Tigers past a motivated Georgia program looking to snap a two-game losing streak to Southeastern Conference opponents.

“Hodge was able to get out to a great start,” Mizzou men’s basketball head coach Dennis Gates said in the postgame.

Mizzou (21-8, 9-7 SEC) pulled away from the Bulldogs with a 21-3 run between the first and second halves, in which the Tigers shot 70% from the field with five 3-pointers.
