Madut Akec (Victory Rock)
The best player on the floor for Victory Rock all night was Madut Akec. The 6’7″ senior was held to five points in the second half but still managed to record 19 in total. He simply can envision open space on the floor before it is even there and he maneuvers his body well in the paint.
Jaden Campbell (The Rock)

Bryan Greenlee (The Rock)
Before exiting with an eye injury with about four minutes left, Bryan Greenlee was on a tear. The 6’0″ junior had nine of his 13 points in the second half which included two straight 3’s for his team. Greenlee is strong and filled with basketball IQ and interior moves.
Michael Durr/Kuany Kuany (Victory Rock)
Big men Michael Durr and Kuany Kuany combined for 13 points for Victory Rock. Durr, a 6’11” senior USF commit had seven points with some nice takes to the rack. Kuany, a 6’9″ junior scored all six of his points in the second half.
