Daniels was a leader, particularly in the first half, going 4 for 4 from the field to start and finishing 6 for 11 as the Wildcats defense eventually closed in on him. He also led the team in rebounding (seven) and assists (five) while adding a block and only one turnover.
At this point, Larry Krystkowiak considers it a trend: Daniels’ career-best 19 points came on the road at Xavier, and he also had 16 points to close out the Diamondhead Classic with a win against Stephen F. Austin. The freshman, who is quickly becoming a fan favorite for his dunks, can bring it on the road.
