ATLANTA (AP) --- Colby Garland scored 16 points, and Kam Craft added 12 as
Georgia Tech opened its season with a 75-55 win over Hampton on Tuesday night.
The Yellow Jackets took control immediately, opening an 11-1 lead and holding
Hampton to six points through the first 12-plus minutes. Georgia Tech pushed
the margin to 26-6 before carrying a 42-15 advantage into halftime.
Hampton briefly showed more life after the break, but the deficit was too large
to overcome.

two 3-pointers. Jackson Fields scored 10 points, and Tylis Jordan finished with
nine points, eight rebounds and five blocks.
Cole Kirouac added 10 rebounds as Georgia Tech dominated the glass 59-33.
Nehemiah Lawrence and Etienne Strothers each scored 10 points to lead Hampton.
Georgia Tech shot 42% from the field despite making just 4 of 28 from 3-point
range. The Yellow Jackets held Hampton to 28% shooting overall and 4 of 20 from
behind the arc.
