Senior Alex Foster recorded back-to-back double-doubles in helping the No. 15-ranked Emory basketball team to a pair of season-opening wins.

The 6-foot-8 Foster torched Oglethorpe for a career-high 38 points, the third-highest individual game mark in school history, and grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds in pacing the Eagles to a 104-77 victory.  He knocked down 15-of-23 from the floor, including four treys in nine attempts, and four-of-five from the charity stripe.   He followed that performance with a team-leading 23 points, 16 coming in the second half, and a game-high 14 rebounds in a 77-75 decision over Guilford.  Against the Quakers, he converted nine-of-18 field goals, including four-of-six from beyond the arc, en route to registering his sixth career contest of 20 or more points.   His "double-double" against Guilford represented the fifth of his career. 

Over the two games, Foster shot 58.5 percent (24-of-41) from the floor and was successful on 53.3 percent (8-of-15) from three-point range.
