The Indianapolis, Ind., native registered 20 points and 14 rebounds along with five assists, hitting 9-of-18 shots with a pair of 3-pointers at Eastern Kentucky. The senior followed that with a career-high 41 points on 12-of-20 shooting, including eight 3-pointers, at Morehead State, recording 12 rebounds and three steals. He scored 16 points in the final 4:56 of the first half and 11 in the final 3:31 of regulation in the 96-86 win.
