• Frierson finished his 20 minutes of work with a game-high 30 points off 10 3-pointers. The 30 points are one off his career high of 31, but the 10 treys sets a new personal record for the senior.

• Najdawi was a perfect 10-for-10 at the charity stripe.
• Brown notched a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds. It is the first double-double of his collegiate career, and the 10 boards mark a career high for Brown.
• Kern scored 14 points Wednesday night, two off his career high. He was also one made field goal, one made 3-pointer and one assist off career highs in all three categories, but he had a career-high three steals against the Suns.
• Sophomore Reed came close to recording a double-double, corralling in a career-high 11 rebounds to go along with seven points. Reed added three assists and a block.

QUOTABLES FROM COACH DUGGAR BAUCOM
"We got a little sloppy a couple of times with turnovers, but that can happen when a game gets out of hand like that. But I'm proud of the guys. Lew had another great game with 13 assists and just one turnover, and Matt tied a record for threes. He tied Quayson, and I think it's only fitting that those two are tied for that stat. It's awesome."

COMING UP
The Citadel will next head to Austin, Texas to take on the Longhorns of the University of Texas on Friday, Nov. 16. The game with the Longhorns, featuring an 8 p.m. Eastern tipoff on the Longhorn Network, will open a three-game road swing for the Bulldogs.
