MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. | Behind 21 points from Ebo Smith, the University of North Georgia men's basketball team collected a pivotal 75-67 Peach Belt Conference win at Georgia College on Saturday afternoon in GC's Centennial Center.  The freshman guard led all scorers behind a six-for-11 effort from behind the three-point line.

The Nighthawks made good on 21-of-50 shots (42%) compared to the Bobcats' 21-of-61 (34%).  North Georgia also held a decisive 43-33 edge on the glass.

The Nighthawks sealed their 15th win with a 20-6 run over a five-minute span late in the second half.

Terrell Harris led GC with 17 points while Larrentis Thomas pitched in with a double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds.
