Time: 7:30 p.m. Radio: AM 910 WORD (airtime 7:15 p.m.) Internet: www.liveonthenet.com 1999-00 Records: Wofford 14-16, 8-8; Georgia Tech 13-17, 5-11 Coaches: Wofford – Richard Johnson (213-196, 16th year at Wofford and overall), Georgia Tech – Paul Hewitt (0-0, 1st year at Georgia Tech; 66-27, 4th year overall) Starting Lineup: Wofford - G. Jon Pryor (4.8 ppg, 3.5 apg), G. Colon Largent (2.8 ppg, 2.2 rpg), G. Lee Nixon (5.8 ppg, 1.0 rpg), F. Grant Sterley (3.5 ppg, 2.0 rpg), C. Kenny Hastie (3.9 ppg, 3.0 rpg) Georgia Tech - G.

Alvin Jones (9.7 ppg, 8.0 rpg) Notes: •It’s the season opener for both teams. •Wofford will be severely shorthanded as two-time All-SoCon guard Ian Chadwick, starting forward Bishop Ravenel, and backup center Edvin Masic are sitting out the opening three games for playing in a summer basketball tournament that wasn’t sanctioned by the NCAA. •The Terrier bench will consist of just five players with only Brandon Boyce and Mike Lenzly having been on the team last season. •After defeating Clemson 79-74 last year, the Terriers nearly made it 2-0 against the ACC when they trailed Georgia Tech by just one point with less than four minutes to play before falling by an 80-70 score in Atlanta. Ian Chadwick had a game-high 26 points in that contest. •Lee Nixon and Grant Sterley will be making their first collegiate starts while Kenny Hastie and Colon Largent will both be in the starting lineup for just the second time in their careers. •The Terriers have four players from the Atlanta area: Brandon Boyce, Ian Chadwick, David Eaton, and Mike Lenzly. •Wofford topped the SoCon last season with an average of 7.1 3-pointers per game.
