Hangin' Tough
Charleston Southern found themselves in a ballgame last time out with a chance to beat Georgia Tech in front of their home fans. CSU saw just a six-point deficit with less than seven minutes to play but was held scoreless after the four-minute mark to fall just short in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Bucs play the remaining Power-5 school on the schedule in Clemson Friday before heading to Kennesaw, Georgia to play Kennesaw State Sunday. The upcoming contests will also mark the remaining two road contests in the month of November that the Bucs will play. CSU will welcome Jacksonville to the Buc Dome December 2 to kick off the final month of the calendar year.
It's All in the Balance
Four different Bucs were in double-digits at Georgia Tech last week, with
Deontaye Buskey scoring 11 after being held scoreless in his last road contest at Wake Forest.
Tahlik Chavez led the way for CSU with 15 on 5-15 shooting from the field. Both Buskey and Chavez hit three treys, the only two Bucs to hit multiple threes in the contest.
Senior
Sadarius Bowser had a big game on the block for CSU, scoring 10 points on 3-4 shooting from the floor to go along with a perfect 4-4 mark from the charity stripe. Freshman
Taje' Kelly made the most of his first career start as well, matching Bowser's 10 points while grabbing three boards.
Scouting Clemson
Clemson is coming off two straight losses after starting the year 4-0. The two losses come in their play at the Charleston Classic, falling to a Top-25 team in St. Bonaventure in the semis and West Virginia in the consolation game.
PJ Hall is leading the Tigers in the scoring department, as the sophomore forward bring a 14.5 points per game clip into the contest. Hall finished with a career-high 22 points against a tough St. Bonaventure side, while also chasing down eight rebounds in that game.
