The Eagles won the first two meetings over the Yellow Jackets in '53 and '58, before dropping five-straight.

The Hartwell, Georgia, native posted his second 20-point contest, adding three rebounds, tying a season-high with six assists, one blocked shot, and setting a new career-high with five steals.
