Finals week has concluded and it is time to get back to business on the court for Coach Pastners Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Coachs crew will get back into the swing of things on Monday evening against Big South opponent Gardner-Webb. The Runnin Bulldogs out of Boiling Springs, NC come into Monday nights game with a 7-5 record and winners of 5 in a row. Two of those wins are a against non-D1 opponents, while the other three are against teams that rate 328 or worse in KenPom. Gardner-Webb is led by sixth year head coach Tim Craft. This is Coach Crafts first stint as a Division 1 coach and he has compiled a record of 95-83. He was an as*istant coach at the program under Rick Scruggs in the early 2000s as well. He has served as an as*istant at Auburn and East Carolina (not ECU). He is the programs third head coach since they joined D-1 in 2002-03, and he was preceded by current Ohio State Gardner-Webb is led by two dynamic scoring guards, senior David Efianayi and freshman Jose Perez. Efianayi owns over 1,300 career points and is currently on pace to set a career high for triples made in a season. He is averaging 17.2 points per game and shooting 42% from three on the season. In his last three contests however, he is only connecting at a 31% clip. He has scored in double figures every Perez, a 65 wing out of the Bronx, is also averaging 17.2 points per game. He has been named the Big South freshman of the week twice and recorded Gardner-Webbs first triple double in nearly 20 years earlier this season. He had exactly one scholarship offer out of high school that I could find. Over his last five games, Perez is averaging 18.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.2 as*ists, 1.8 steals and shooting 53% from behind the arc. Regardless of competition, that is really impressive. A couple of additional players that should be mentioned are Nate Johnson and DJ Laster. Johnson, a 64 RS sophomore guard, is averaging 11.3 points per game. He has kind of burst onto the scene this year. He is shooting 42.6% from three and has an effective field goal
