Wildcats Top Performers:
 

• The visitors held a sizable edge on the glass with a plus-12 (43-31) margin, fronted by Omarion Layssard with a career-best eight to go along with a dozen points on 6-for-10 (60%) shooting.

 

• Bryce Weinmunson was everywhere for the Orange and Blue, dropping 12 points, six rebounds, four assists, tied for the most steals on the team at three, and blocked a pair of shots.

 

• Konnor DeJean was the definition of a selfless ballplayer, topping either side in assists (6) without scoring despite seeing only 18 minutes of time, marking an average of a dime per every three minutes on the court.

 

• Drew Tebbe rocketed off the bench and decided that he was too cool to shoot from inside the arc, launching nothing but money balls and connecting on a personal-record 4-of-6 (66.7%) on top of corralling a career-most five rebounds on his way to 13 points.

 

• Devin Carter has emerged out of the transfer portal from Copiah-Lincoln CC (2023-24) and Alcorn (2022-23) to pay immediate dividends for the Cats, swishing five treys while bringing in an equal number of boards plus he held his own on the defensive end with a trio of pickpockets.
