Six Vandals recorded double-digit scoring efforts, including a team-high 24 points from forward Terren Frank. The 6-8 redshirt sophomore from Los Angeles shot an efficient 9-of-13 from the field and recorded five rebounds, five steals and four assists. Front-court teammate Isaac Jones posted his first career double-double as a Vandal with 21 points and 10 boards. 

Coming off the bench, sophomore Dominique Ford did a little bit of everything with 17 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Nigel Burris (13), Yusef Salih (12) and Michael Hanshaw (10) all finished in double figures.
