ATHENS, Georgia (Ticker) -- Jarvis Hayes looks like he is healthy.

Hayes scored 18 points and Ezra Williams added 16, leading 22nd-ranked Georgia to an 83-70 Southeastern Conference victory over Vanderbilt.

After playing through a hip flexor injury in late January, Hayes has flourished in February and overtaken Williams for the team lead in scoring.

Hayes was key again Saturday, making 7-of-14 shots from the field. The junior forward is averaging 17.3 points per contest.

Williams, who struggled badly in a loss at No. 3 Kentucky on Tuesday, rebounded with a solid game as Georgia (14-7, 6-4 SEC East) avoided its third straight loss and improved to 10-0 in Athens this season.

The Bulldogs also exacted a measure of revenge against the Commodores after suffering a 94-91 loss in Nashville on January 29.

Corey Smith netted 14 points and freshman Julian Terrell 13 for the Commodores (10-12, 3-8 East), who fell to 0-9 on the road this season and lost for the 11th straight time overall away from home.
