Junior forward Marcus Georges-Hunt is Georgia Tech's top scorer so far this season by averaging 11.7 points per game, while forward Charles Mitchell has been their top all-around player by averaging 10.5 points and a team-best 7.3 rebounds per game.
Dayton got back on the winning track on Saturday by easily defeating Boston 78-62 at home for their eighth victory of the season. They made 11 of their 23 three-point attempts in that win and finished with a solid 52 field goal percentage.
