Another monster individual performance came from Murray State’s Ja Morant against Missouri State. The talented sophomore scored a career-high 29 points and also added 13 rebounds and 12 assists in the Racers’ 77-66 win. The Racers sure have a knack for finding exciting guards. (Also for Missouri State: 1-for-16 from three-point range. Ouch.)
...
West Virginia struggled to put away Valparaiso, finally winning 88-76 but only after Esa Ahmad scored 30 and Sagaba Konate added 26.
...
Indiana State quietly earned a solid win, defeating Western Kentucky 63-54 at home. The Sycamores’ big men held their own against the Hilltoppers’ power inside, and ISU’s guards were clearly better with Jordan Barnes and Tyreke Key combining for 33 points.

AJ Green (Northern Iowa)
Stats: 18.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 1.7 apg, .452/.341/.905 in 6 games

A top-100 recruit who chose to play for his father (a UNI assistant) over numerous high-major programs, Green has not disappointed thus far. He’s clearly the #1 scoring option for the Panthers, and also shoulders much of the ball-handling load. Green is the clear frontrunner for MVC Freshman of the Year and is well on his way to a great career in Cedar Falls.

-TULSA VS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS (Las Vegas Holiday Invitational). Southern Illinois is good, but they have quite frankly run out of strikes, and it ain’t even December yet. They cannot afford to drop anymore games to what appear to be sub-NIT caliber teams.
