The Wichita, Kan., native opened the week with 20 points on 5-of-8 shooting in Omaha's come-from-behind victory Tuesday at Bethune-Cookman. He followed up Saturday vs. Montana State with a career-high 33 points, shooting 10-of-14 with a career-best six 3-pointers and a flawless 7-of-7 effort at the stripe.
