McMillian Scores Career-High 27 vs. Oklahoma
Chance McMillian finished with 27 points (10-13 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and eight rebounds over 32 minutes during Saturday’s 85-84 win over Oklahoma. McMillian followed up a 14-point performance by draining six of eight from behind the arc to spur a career-high 27-point effort. McMillian, who also matched a career-high in rebounds, had posted a total of 15 points and six rebounds in his previous three games. The junior guard has posted double-digits in the scoring column in three of six conference games, averaging 11.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 28.7 minutes per game during that stretch.
Nelson Scores 30 Points in Key Victory over Baylor
Jameer Nelson had 30 points (11-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), one rebound, two assists and four steals in 42 minutes during Saturday’s 105-102 3OT win over Baylor. Nelson’s production in 2023-24 may be a far cry from the 20.6 ppg mark set last season with Delaware, but the fifth-year senior showed Saturday that he’s still more than capable of major scoring outbursts. Helped by 15 minutes of extra time, Nelson was able to nearly double his previous season high in scoring. This also broke him out of a two-game slump over which he had amassed just nine points on 3-of-5 shooting. It will be tough to limit his minutes after an outing like this.
