Despite entering the contest averaging 11.8 points per game in league play, the sophomore exploded for a game-high and season-high 21 points in the win that improved the Terriers to a 7-5 conference record and vaulted Wofford into a tie for third in the conference standings. With the win, The Terriers met the seven-win mark for the first time since the 2006-07 season and just the third time in program history. Green was 6-of-7 from the floor, 3-of-3 from 3-point range and 9-of-10 from the free-throw line. The native of Ellenwood, Georgia, also dished out a game-high seven assists, pulled down four rebounds and tallied two steals.
