The 6-6 shooting guard from Clifton Park. N.Y., coming off a game in which he missed seven of nine shots from the field, including six of seven from 3-point range, made five of eight shots overall, four of seven on 3-pointers, in a 70-50 victory. Huerter finished with a team-high 14 points in just over 20 minutes.
