ATLANTA (AP) — Josh Okogie hasn't needed much time to show coach Josh Pastner that he can score from anywhere on the floor.
"I feel like if I'm able to keep playing hard, I'll be able to keep producing for my team," Okogie said. "Coach expressed that to me as well. He said that I've got to get offensive rebounds and putbacks."
Okogie set a Georgia Tech freshman scoring record with 38 points, Ben Lammers added 19 points and 12 rebounds and the Yellow Jackets beat Tulane 82-68 on Saturday night.
Quinton Stephens had 14 points and 12 rebounds as the Jackets (4-1) finished a five-game home stand to begin its first season under Pastner.
