Hawkins had eight 3s through his first 10 games at Tech, but has started a breakout from beyond the arc, which started against UCF on New Year’s Eve. He also knocked down four against Utah and it continued against the Cougars. Hawkins drilled six shots from deep, accounting for most of Tech’s shots from three, en route to his 22-point performance.

Elijah Hawkins poured in 22 points, and Darrion Williams added 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists as the Red Raiders handed the Cougars a fourth straight loss.
