Georgia Bulldogs defeated Montenegro 101:74 in the World Cup on 28 August 2026. The hosts made the result look comfortable from the opening stages and never looked back. Montenegro had no answer for the pace Georgia brought.
and here's the thing — the margin told the story immediately. Georgia shot 38 of 75 from the field and hit nine three-pointers from 23 attempts. Montenegro managed 29 of 61 and five from 20. The gap in efficiency was stark.
by then the turnover count had already shifted momentum. Georgia committed just three turnovers while Montenegro coughed up 16. The home side pulled 14 offensive rebounds to Montenegro's 11 and finished with 23 assists against 15. That ball movement meant Montenegro could never settle into a rhythm.
Georgia had been uneven of late. They beat Israel 101:90 on 23 August but had lost to St. Louis and Ole Miss earlier in March. This performance suggests they've found something. Montenegro, meanwhile, had won against Slovenia and Romania but fallen to Portugal and Britain. They'll need to address the shooting slump.
the free-throw disparity added another layer. Georgia made 16 of 20 attempts while Montenegro hit 11 of 15. Combined with the rebounding edge — 33 to 35 for Montenegro but 14 offensive boards for Georgia — the hosts controlled the glass where it mattered. The result keeps Georgia in contention and leaves Montenegro searching for answers.
