Some Notable Stats:
Otis Livingston II led the team tonight with 15 points, going 5-15 from the field, 2-6 from three, and 3 had three turnovers.
Justin Kier helped with 11 points of his own, going 4-10 from the field, 0-2 from three, and recorded 11 rebounds. While this was not one of his best games in the last stretch, he recorded his 7th double-double in the last 11 games.
The Green Machine really showed up in this game, possibly the best I have ever heard them. However, it was the student section next to them that made it even better. Check this out.
