He came up big in the fourth quarter with seven points to pace the offense and show off his presence in the painted area.

He finished with 18 points including eight points in the fourth quarter to try to surge the Trojans to victory. He was an aggressive presence who did well to get to the free throw line and make things happen as a driving threat. He also knocked down a 3-pointer in the fourth.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1596874"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Whitner didn't have the best shooting night but he still managed to stay involved in the game and find ways to impact the game.
