In the win the sophomore guard had 22 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, and finished with a +/- of +16. Isaiah was also very efficient shooting 69% from the field and 57% from beyond the arc.

In the win the Patriot big man had 18 points on just ten shot attempts, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, and a block. He also built a home at the stripe, going 6/9. I believe that Ryan’s play is pivotal as we move forward with this season, and that he will have no problem leading the Patriots deep into March.
