ALBANY - Clarence Jackson hasn't stepped on the court, Ryan Rossiter got knocked off of it and still the Saints are hanging tough with Georgia Tech at halftime.

Jackson suited up and went through warmups, but was replaced in the starting lineup by Kyle Downey.

Rossiter played 14 minutes, but took an elbow from Mfon Udofia with 1:13 to go and had to be helped off the floor by trainer Greg Dashnaw.

O.D. Anosike has played well (he should be playing better as he missed a few bunnies). Anosike has five points and seven rebounds.

The Yellow Jackets' bench scored 21 points in the first half, led by Glen Rice Jr.' s nine points and Jason Morris, who scored eight.
