Production is Key
A.J. Hamrick joined
Sean Price in the double-double club in just his third career game for Charleston Southern last time out. The freshman center finished with career highs in points (13), rebounds (12) and blocks (3) in just 17 minutes.
Claudell Harris Jr. fell just one rebound short of a double-double after 10 points, as did
Kalib Clinton with 16 points and nine boards.
Sean Price picked up right where he left off as well, finishing a bucket, two dimes and two rebounds shy of his first career triple-double. The fifth-year senior is averaging just under nine points per game and just under eight rebounds per game as a catalyst to the Bucs on both the offensive and defensive sides of the floor.

Georgia Tech is coming off a huge win against in-state rival Georgia 88-78 as Michael Devoe collected a career-high 37 points with Jordan Usher adding 21 of his own in the winning effort.
