Junior Jamal Olasewere, the Choice Hotels/NEC Co-Player of the Week, dropped a career-high 32 points, 11 of which came on a perfect 11-of-11 outing at the line, and classmate Julian Boyd recorded a double-double with 20 points and 11 boards. For the Terriers, Akeem Johnson scored 23 points and grabbed nine rebounds, and Ben Mockford contributed 14, including three long balls.
