Liberty Christian versus University – Six Prospects to Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Indiana had boots on the ground at The Lions Den on Tuesday night for a Top 10 matchup featuring two teams that advanced very deep into last year's IHSAA State Tournament. Class 1A #2 Liberty Christian is coming off of back-to-back Semi-State trips while Class 2A #8 University is the reining State Runner-Up. This matchup certainly lived up to the hype and delivered an excellent game ultimately won by Liberty Christian 69-65. Here are write-ups on six of the prospects that stood out the most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2417030"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6982c8051e730"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Liberty Christian's explosive backcourt was a big part of Tuesday night's win, but Dillard quietly contributed a double-double on the interior. The 6'6" unsigned senior forward displayed his physicality on the glass and explosiveness out of the dunker's spot throughout the game. Dillard posted a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds to help lead the Lions to a 69-65 win over University.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2267054"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6982c8051e7d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The pace of the game is typically set by this lightning quick point guard. He was able to wear down the University backcourt as the game went on with his relentless on-ball pressure. Fuller also always pushes the pace in transition where he flashes some elite court vision and passing ability. The 5'9" junior playmaker finished with 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists in Liberty Christian's big 69-65 victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2887162"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6982c8051e855"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arguably the highest upside long-term prospect on the floor, Henderson displayed his well-rounded offensive game on Tuesday night. The long, athletic, 6'6" forward scored via right hand drives, quick post moves, and offensive rebound putbacks to finish with a team-leading 19 points and 5 rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140408"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6982c8051e8d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Martin controlled this game from start to finish. The athletic, explosive guard came out of the gate hot scoring eight points in the first quarter and then started dishing it off in the second quarter collecting four assists. He went on to lead all scorers in the game with 31 points to go along with 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals. It was an incredibly impressive all-around performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1560954"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6982c8051e945"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">University wasn't going away quietly and it was a couple of late buckets by McGee that helped to keep the Trailblazers in the game. He hit a deep three-point shot that cut it to two in the final moments, but it wasn't enough as they fell to Liberty Christian 69-65. McGee, an unsigned senior point guard, had 10 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists in the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2630646"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6982c8051e999"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It was overshadowed a bit by his opponent's 31-point scoring outburst, but Mohamud was cooking as a pure scorer on Tuesday night as well. The 6'2" unsigned senior guard was hitting tough pull-up shots and showcasing his ability to get a bucket from all three levels. He finished with 16 points and 3 steals in University's 69-65 loss to Liberty Christian.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
