Standout Performance:
We’ll give the shout-out to James Milliken in this one, as the senior continued his late-season surge with 15 points, four rebounds and three assists. The 15 points are the second-most he’s scored this season and the fifth time in the last six games he’s scored 9+ after an up-and-down season to that point. They came a bit unconventionally — he was 3-12 from the field and 2-8 from three-point range, but went 7-9 from the free throw line.
