Five Sand Sharks posted double-digit performances and USCB men’s basketball led from the tip Wednesday at Georgia College, ending a three-game skid with a 97-83 road win in Peach Belt Conference play.
Marcus Overstreet posted his sixth double-double of the season with 20 points and 12 rebounds, while Kevaughn Price continued his excellent play with 16 points, six boards and four assists. Kenney Gaines had his best night in the navy and sand, matching his season-high with 14 points along with nine rebounds and three assists.
Qurahn Anderson scored in double-figures for the second straight game, collecting 15 points, and Tasso Sfanos went 4-for-5 from beyond the arc for 12 points off the bench.
USCB couldn’t keep it going Saturday at No. 6 North Georgia, though the Sand Sharks stayed within single-digits for most of the evening before fading to a 92-75 loss in Dahlonega.
Larry Bulluck led the way for Beaufort’s offense, posting his second 20-point performance of the season, while Nolan Paladugu found the groove from beyond the arc, dropping 11 points off the bench.
UNG held a double-digit lead of 10, but Sfanos and Gaines made it a two possession game after knocking down back-to-back 3-pointers. A Bulluck triple made it a 3-point game, but North Georgia went on an 8-2 run over the final two minutes to head into the locker room up 45-36 and eased away late.
The Sand Sharks (9-5, 2-4) return to the Cove on Wednesday to face another top-25 team in rival USC Aiken before traveling to Flagler on Saturday.
