Avdalas, a 6-foot-9 native of Greece, averaged 12.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists as a freshman in Blacksburg.

He skyrocketed up in NBA mock drafts on the heels of that game, looking like a projected first-round pick.

Scheierman exploded in the third for 14 points, which included four 3-pointers - each seemingly increasing in difficulty, until finally, he lofted a 30-foot rainbow step-back jumper over Goga Bitadze that hit nothing but net in a way that only the best shooters on a heater seem able to achieve.

Just tried to be a voice and resource. Talking to the staff, I talked to Jon every other day. Players on the team would reach out. Just being an extended resource to the team and the guys that had any questions.

High Point Panthers guard and star player, Rob Martin catches a long rebound off a missed Boyd layup. Martin throws a full court outlet pass to Panthers' three point specialist Chase Johnston. Johnston, who has not made a single two point shot this year, hits the layup all alone in transition, putting the Panthers up by one with 12 seconds to go.
