What to Know

Having just played yesterday, they will jump right back in to play the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at 11:00 p.m. ET on Friday at SimpliFI Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to post ten more assists than your opponent, a fact Hawaii proved on Thursday. They walked away with a 69-56 victory over the Pilots.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Hawaii to victory, but perhaps none more so than Matthue Cotton, who scored 15 points along with six rebounds. As a matter of fact, that’s the most points Cotton has scored all season. Noel Coleman was another key contributor, scoring 14 points along with three steals.
Meanwhile, Georgia Tech had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 11 points), and they went ahead and made it three on Thursday. They had just enough and edged the Minutemen out 73-70.
Georgia Tech can attribute much of their success to Kyle Sturdivant, who scored 21 points along with three steals. As a matter of fact, that’s the most points Sturdivant has scored all season. Less helpful for Georgia Tech was Miles Kelly’s abysmal 0-6 three-point shooting.
The Warriors’ victory bumped their record up to 8-2. As for the Yellow Jackets, they have been performing well recently as they’ve won five of their last six games, which provided a nice bump to their 7-3 record this season.
This contest is shaping up to be a blowout: Hawaii just can’t miss this season, having made 48% of their shots per game. It’s a different story for Georgia Tech, though, as they’ve only made…
