MVP of the Night – Matt Tiby
Matt Tiby made his presence felt in the paint, as the big man shot 11-18 earning 29 points on the night. As the game got a bit chippy, Tiby stepped up for a big and-1 to help put his team in the lead, and later helping the DM Lions Club to the win.
Defensive Player of the Night – Nick Weiler-Babb
Nick Weiler-Babb put his head down and played basketball on Wednesday Night, cruising with 25 and helping his team to a 2-point victory on Wednesday. Not only did Weiler-Babb lead the league in assists on Wednesday, he also lead the league in steals with six.
Weiler-Babb ended the night just four steals away from a triple-double.
Team of the Night – Renaissance Granite & Quartz
They did not have any big names on the roster, and they were without potential future NBA’er Monte Morris, but they still managed to get past Naz Mitrou-Long and Phoenix RR. Not only did they get past Phoenix, they blew them out of the water, at one point having a 33 point lead.
Renaissance also had six players score in double digits, making their performance worth of earning Team of the night.
