Lewis Clinch and Maurice Miller each scored 13 points and Anthony Morrow added 11 as Georgia Tech routed Centenary 86-41 Saturday, giving the Yellow Jackets their first home game win of the season.

Tech (5-5) had played only two previous games at Alexander Memorial Coliseum, losing to UNC-Greensboro in its season-opener 83-74 and on Tuesday night to No. 3 Kansas, 71-66.

"It’s just one game. It’s nice to get a win, but there’s no major significance to it," said Hewitt.

He was pleased, however, with the defense and effort despite the lop-sided score.

"We forced 23 turnovers. Even though we had a big lead in the second half I think we did a good job of not letting down and getting into the open court," said Hewitt. "Yes, I am pleased with the effortt."

The Yellow Jackets played 13 players and 12 scored at least two points.

"Yes. A lot of guys got playing time today," said Hewitt. "Alade (Aminu) had a good game. Mo Miller in particular probably if you had to single out a certain individual that benefitted the most from this game. He had a good stat line with no turnovers and three assists.

Miller, a freshman guard, scored all of his career-high points in the second half, hitting on four of six shots, including three of four 3-point goals.

"He did a nice job. He didn’t have any turnovers but he got a little winded at the end," said Hewitt. (Miller missed three games with a bone bruyse on his lower back and had played only 41 minutes combined in the last four games).

"It’s a nice confidence boost for him. He shot the ball well," added Hewitt, who played Miller 19 minutes, 13 in the second half.

Tech shot 48 percent (30-of-62) from the field, hitting 11 of 27 3’s.

Justin Glenn led Centenary (7-6) with 10 points.

The Yellow Jackets broke the game open outscoring Centenary 17-3 to open the second half for a 58-26 as Morrow scored seven points and Gani Lawal added five.

Tech led 41-23 at the half with Clinch scoring 10 points for the Yellow Jackets.

The Yellow Jackets biggest lead of the opening half was 24 points at 33-9 with 7:34 left before intermission as Centenary hit on only 3 of its first 16 shots.

The Gentlemen from Shreveport, La., managed to hit four consecutive 3’s, the last by Stallings to get within 34-21 with 5:02 left in the half. But Clinch hit a 3 and Alade Aminu and Jeremis Smith added baskets for the 18-point halftime margin.

Centenary played without its leading scorer, Tyrone Hamilton (17.4 points), who was suspended for disciplinary reasons.

Coach Rob Flaska held a team meeting afterward and was unavailable for comment.

The 41 points allowed by Tech was its lowest since beating Marist 90-40 on Dec. 23, 2003.
