De’Andre Hunter had a phenomenal game as he scored 23 points on 8-for-11 shooting, including a back breaking three with :55 left in the game. Hunter went a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line and added six rebounds (five offensive) in the game. Ty Jerome finished with 15 points—all in the second half—and Kyle Guy chipped in 14 on 5-for-11 shooting.
