Some things from this one:
Jordan Miller had a heck of a game; he led the team tonight with 25 points, going 10-18 from the floor, and 3-5 from three in his 34 minutes today. He was clutch in the game sinking some key three-pointers like these:

Xavier Johnson played a great game. He finished with 13 points, going 4-11 from the floor, and had 2 rebounds. His ability to drive to the basket is second to none on this squad.
Many defenders will try to keep X in front of them, many won’t succeed. The combo of his handles and speed are filthy pic.twitter.com/FJ4cL1ZtPh

AJ Wilson is still at the block party, he added 10 points going 5-8 from the field and added 3 blocks to his season total of 13. #MasonRecords from Tyler Byrum:
A.J. Wilson moves up another spot to 14th on @MasonMBB‘s all-time block list with 3 last night vs. LIU Brooklyn. He’s at 85 in his career, passing Jesse Young. #MasonRecords

Also apparently flopping now comes with a technical foul, that’s new.
Technical for flopping, I think, against LIU. That’s new.
