Yates has emerged as the heartbeat of the Saints throughout the season and that was never more evident than on Wednesday night as he refused to let them lose while coming up with countless big plays. The senior guard was both persistently aggressive but steadily under control, expertly picking and choosing his spots when to attack. He was at his best using his quickness and shifty handle to attack the rim off the bounce, but his pullup 3 late in the third quarter was also one of the biggest shots of the game to keep Neumann within striking distance. His pair of blocked 3-point attempts on the defensive end in the fourth quarter were just the cherry on top for the lionhearted floor general who projects as an impact piece in the PSAC moving forward.
