Making Some Noise
Sean Price had a career day last time out at Ole Miss, recording the first double-double of the year for the Bucs. 10 points and 10 rebounds for Price was his first double-double of his CSU career and the 10 rebounds were also a new career mark.
 
Deontaye Buskey caught fire from the field at Ole Miss as well, scoring a team-high 17 points while also adding seven rebounds. Buskey, in just his second game back after missing much of the previous season, continues to play well for the Bucs.
 
Depth, Depth, Depth
Head Coach Barclay Radebaugh continues to rely heavily on his tremendous depth and talent off the bench. In the two games played thus far, CSU has played 15 players in the opener at home against Johnson & Wales and 10 players on the road at Ole Miss. 
 
Kalib Clinton, Claudell Harris Jr., Taje' Kelly join the likes of Emorie Knox and Ja'Quavian Florence as the young talent off the bench for Charleston Southern.
 
Scouting Wake Forest
Wake Forest has shot 31-60 in both games they have played this year, coming away with wins in each contest.
 
The Demon Deacons also pulled down exactly 37 rebounds in both games.
 
Wake is led by Alondes Williams, a transfer from Oklahoma. The Grad transfer has had back-to-back 20-point games to start the season.
 
The Demon Deacons sport eight different transfers, including two international transfers in Cameron Hildreth (Worthing Thunder) and Matthew Marsh (FC Barcelona).
 
A 77-59 win over William & Mary in their opener and a closer 87-75 win over Western Carolina spell their season thus far, with both games being in front of their home fans.
 
Series Breakdown
Charleston Southern has dropped the only two meetings with the Demon Deacons, with the last matchup being in 2005. The first contest, played in the last month of 1986, saw a 70-65 score. The only other meeting came in 2005, where Wake Forest won 87-47.
 
In their four previous meetings, the Bucs averaged just 56 points, scoring a total of 112 points.
