Eight times the Suwanee, Ga. native scored in double figures, with five of those coming in succession. The 6'7 forward from Collins High School scored a season-high 16 points at Auburn-Montgomery including making three baskets from three point range. Roach also connected on a career high four three pointers against Shorter College.
