Early in the afternoon, four-star C Saba Gigiberia committed to the Yellow Jackets. Gigiberia is the 127th ranked player in the 2020 recruiting class overall and the 17th ranked center in the nation. The Republic of Georgia native (and current California resident) chose Tech over schools like Vanderbilt, Boise State, and Illinois. Welcome to the Flats, Saba!
Later in the evening, the Tech basketball team picked up a win against the Elon Phoenix. The Jackets were without G Jose Alvarado due to an ankle injury, but Michael Devoe picked up the slack, scoring 22 points. Turnovers were a problem for the Jackets, however, as they gave up the ball 17 times.
