**1 - Perry Ellis:** Did a terrific job of posting up and dunking with authority. Played very much like the go-to guy his coach wants him to be and did a nice job of helping off onto Rhode Island’s E.C. Matthews when he got to the paint. Foul trouble limited Ellis to 24 minutes, time enough ...
**1 - Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk:** Scored all 10 of his points in a span of 3:10 in the first half. He buried two threes, saved a ball, ducked behind the defense and got it back for an easy bucket and had a put-back in transition. **2 - Wayne Selden Jr.:** Went out of his way to show younger ...
