Notes: Junior guard Blake Smith averaged 17.3 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. In addition, he also surpassed the 1500 point mark for his career during the contest at Asbury University.

In addition, we recognize the two lone senior members who also performed well this week, and both stepped up in a major way in the final home game of their careers.

For the three games, Simon Christon averaged 10.3 points and 7.7 rebounds. He came up with a huge 16 point, 12 rebound double-double in the regular season’s final victory over Kentucky Christian University.

Fellow classmate Ryan House averaged 11.3 points and 2.3 rebounds on the week. He led the squad in the regular season finale victory over KCU with 21 points and came up with two huge steals late in the contest to clinch the win.
