Cougars Reach 20 Wins

GREENSBORO, NC – The College of Charleston men's basketball team defeated North Carolina A&T 69-59 on Saturday in Greensboro for the Cougars' 20th win of the season. With the win, Chris Mack becomes the fourth first-year head coach in program history to reach 20 wins in the first season.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Charleston started the game on a 12-2 run over a four and a half minutes stretch for an early 12-6 lead.
  • After then going without a field goal for nearly three minutes, AJ Smith sank a mid-range floater to set up a Derrin Boyd triple and back-to-back Adam Comer lays to take a 26-18 edge with five minutes to play.
  • The Cougars were 6-8 from the field to end the half to enter the locker room up 40-29 with their largest lead of the game. Justas Stonkus led Charleston with ten points while CJ Fulton had nine first half assists.
  • Charleston held A&T without a basketball for nearly three minutes to open the second half before falling cold themselves, going 1-7 from the field. Despite struggling from the field, A&T was never able to cut the lead to single digits.
  • Three straight Tavarez triples help the Cougars pull away at 66-53 and never look back on the way to the program's 20th win of the season.


KEY COUGARS
  • Tavarez had a team-high 20 points, going 50% from the field, followed by Smith with 18 and Stonkus with ten.
  • Fulton dished out 11 assists, the third highest mark in a single game in program history and just one behind his career high.
  • Brzovic grabbed a team-high six rebounds.
GAME NOTES
