Jan. 4- California 5′10 junior Jerome Randle erupted for 26 and 10 feeds in a win against Arizona St. He’s averaging more than 19ppg and nearly 5 feeds this season.

Jan. 4- Drake 5′11 junior Craig Stanley scored a season high 17 points in a road win over Southern Illinois.

Jan. 3- One of the most superb freshman in the game right now is Arkansas’s 5′11 Courtney Fortson. He didn’t have his best game in a win against N.Texas (5 TO’s and 2-8 ft) but back on December the 30th in an upset win over Oklahoma, he nearly had a triple double (2 rebounds shy). For the season he’s rebounding the ball like a mad man with 5.4 rebounds and taking care of the point guard duties with over 7 feeds/gm. Meh, just 15.3ppg to boot.

Jan. 3- Can’t forget about the sixth man on last season’s championship team, Sherron Collins. In a 7 point victory over the Tennessee Volunteers, Collins netted 26 to go along with 9 assists.

Jan. 3- Oklahoma State’s 5′10 freshman Keiton Page, one of the best bench players out there, tied a career high with 21 (5-9 3ptfg) in a shellacking of Northwestern State. 5′11 starting point guard Byron Eaton didn’t light up the scoreboard but did get to his assist average with 6 helpers. Nice combo they got there in Stillwater.

Jan. 3- Howard 5′11 freshman Chris McHenry hit 4 three pointers on his way to 18 points in a loss to La Salle. McHenry had a 29 point performance earlier in the season.

Jan. 2- South Carolina 5′9 junior Devan Downey scored 23 and dished out 8 assists in route to a 1 point victory @ Baylor. Devan has been nothing short (pun intended) of amazing his entire collegiate career with averages like 15.7ppg and 4.8 assists. Although he doesn’t take many 3 pointers, just 3.0/gm this season, he’s connecting on over 41% of them.

Jan. 2- Mount St. Mary’s 5′9 junior Jeremy Goode scored 15 and pulled down 5 rebounds in a 5 point win versus Lafayette. He’s averaging over 15ppg this season
