Hall, Pirates Power Past Georgia Southwestern, 85-68

SAVANNAH, Ga. - Senior guard T.T. Hall broke out of a scoring slump with a game-high 24 points, leading Armstrong Atlantic State to its sixth straight victory in an 85-68 Peach Belt Conference men's basketball win over visiting Georgia Southwestern State on Wednesday evening at Alumni Arena.

Hall led a quartet of Armstrong Atlantic (10-1, 3-1 PBC) players in double figures, while also handing Georgia Southwestern State (5-6, 1-3 PBC) its second straight loss.

Reigning PBC Player of the Week Brian Moultrie added a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, while Calvin Wilson added 14 points and Dwight Tolbert chipped in 12. 

Georgia Southwestern was led by Chris Rawls' 21 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the floor and 7-of-9 from the free throw line. Freshman Savannah native Evan Mobley, a product of Windsor Forest HS, just a mile away from the AASU campus, recorded 13 points off the bench in his first collegiate game in his hometown.

Hall scored 12 points in each half en route to his game-high 24 points and hit 4-of-9 three-pointers, shaking out of a stretch where he had hit just 3 of his last 22 three-point attempts (13.6 percent). 

The Pirates forced 19 turnovers from Georgia Southwestern and owned a 42-36 advantage on the boards. 

AASU now travels to Augusta State on Saturday, January 10, for a 7:30 p.m. showdown with No. 10-ranked Augusta State.
