JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 1, 2023) – The Bucs unleashed months of frustrating home losses into the Wofford Terriers on Wednesday night.
Jordan King (Albany, N.Y.) and Jalen Haynes (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) each scored 22 points, as ETSU men’s basketball snapped an eight-game home losing streak with a 77-52 rout over Wofford inside Freedom Hall.

GAME SUMMARY
Wofford scored the first basket of the night, but from there it was all Blue and Gold.
ETSU scored the next 10 points and eventually pushed its lead to 14 when Jancek connected on a jumper in the paint, making it 18-4 with 13:21 left in the half. With the Bucs making eight of their first 10 shots, the Terriers were forced to burn a 30-second timeout to try and weather the storm.
Wofford was able to cut its deficit to nine, but the Bucs never let the Terriers inch any closer.
ETSU took a 10-point lead into halftime, 36-26, and pushed the margin to 17 in the opening minutes of the second half as a driving lay-up by King made it 45-28 at the 15:56 mark.
From there, the Buccaneer lead hovered between 15 to 17 points until a pair of free throws by Haynes made it 58-37 at the midway point of the half. Then the rout was on as the margin hit 25 thanks to a dunk by Seymour and King followed with his final bucket of the night – a three-pointer – making it 74-46 with less than four minutes to play.
George finally got in on the fun as he hit his first attempt for his first collegiate points, resulting in the 31-point lead, and the Buccaneer faithful went home with free Chick-fil-a thanks to Messiah Jones missing back-to-back free throws at the 17:24 mark of the second half.
UP NEXT
ETSU now hits the road for two tough league games, beginning Saturday at SoCon-leading Samford. Tip-off is set for 3 p.m. ET inside Pete Hanna Center.
