<p>The 6-foot-2 shooting guard saw many shot attempts go in. White took what the defense gave him, which was a lot of uncontested shots from the perimeter. He didn't have to force anything offensively. White led all scorers with 27 points, as he connected on 5 3-pointers. The Execs had excellent ball movement, so the opportunities were there for everyone to get great looks at the rim. </p>

<p>”Yeah,” White said about his shooting rhythm. “But, my teammates gave me the ball. It was all about team work, so we were swinging the ball, making sure the scorers get the ball and put the ball in the basket.”</p>

<p>In the second quarter, MBA held a 19-13 lead. White knocked down 2 3s to push his team's lead to 27-16. The Execs went into halftime up 35-22.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1933173' first='Larry' last='Benson III']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The sophomore point guard didn't have to carry the scoring load Friday night. Benson had great balance on offense. He did a great job of finding his teammates. Benson got into the lane with ease. As soon as one of his teammates got the basketball and handed it off to him, Benson looked up the floor in transition and found his teammates running their lanes. Benson finished the night with 12 points, but his court vision and pace were more impressive. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2321825' first='Randy' last='White Jr.']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The senior guard finished with 12 points in the win. White was very aggressive at the attacking the rim. He doesn't mind taking contact into the upper body area. White is very conditioned to play in a fast-paced contest. He played hard on every possession. White was a huge positive in a lopsided win.</p>

<p><strong>Jay'lon Hopson</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-4 wing was all over the glass, pulling down rebounds over multiple Wildcat defenders. Hopson finished with the night with 10 points, mainly because it seemed like he wanted the basketball each time it came off the rim, a hunger Hamilton's post players didn't seem to have. Hopson made his presence felt in the paint with putbacks. </p>
