AIKEN, S.C. - University of South Carolina Aiken men's basketball player Michael Technow was selected as the USC Aiken Athletic Department Student-Athlete of the Week on Monday, November 30.

In USC Aiken's only game last week, Technow kept the Pacers within reach of knocking off fourth-ranked Florida Southern in USC Aiken's eventual 87-74 loss to the Mocs on Saturday, Nov. 28 at the Convocation Center.

Technow (Boca Raton, Fla./American University) picked up his first career double-double in the game. He scored a team-high 22 points to go along with his game-high 10 rebounds. Technow was 9-for-13 from the floor in the game.

He acquired four offensive caroms in the loss to the Mocs.

Technow is becoming one of the Pacers top offensive threats as his performance against Florida Southern followed up a 16-point output in USC Aiken's game with Pfeiffer. Technow was perfect from the field and the free throw line in the Pfeiffer contest. He was 7-for-7 from the floor and 2-for-2 from the charity stripe.

The Pacers are presently 2-2 in the 2009-10 campaign entering their Peach Belt Conference opener against Francis Marion at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 2 in Florence, S.C.

Francis Marion does not offer live stats, but they will offer a free live video webcast of the contest. The link for the webcast can be accessed by visiting the men's basketball schedule or the main upcoming schedule at www.PacerSports.com.
