Freshman point guard and Las Vegas, NV native Davion Pearson had eight assists and only one turnover on the night.
“I thought our effort tonight was very good. We did a good job defensively taking away what they wanted to do offensively. We held them to 29% shooting on the night. Offensively I thought we did a good job of sharing the ball. Davion did a very good job facilitating the offensive for us. We moved the ball and got in a rhythm. Plus it didn’t hurt to shoot 60% from the three tonight either” Coach Curtis Condie commented.
