Lucas: Honorable Mention

Hubert Davis paused. "I want to mention someone who really won us the game, and that's Derek Dixon. Kyan got into foul trouble. The game could really go either way at that point. We were up, but they made a run on us in the first half. Derek settled us with his decision making and his scoring. He hit a big three in the corner. He played huge minutes." (GoHeels.com)
