He shot 16-for-26 from field (.614), two-for-five 3-pt (.400) and nine-for-12 from the line (.750). Besides the 27 points, which was in the Owls' first game playing without American Athletic Conference's leading scorer Khalif Battle, he also tallied 16 points and grabbed six rebounds in the win over La Salle (12/1).
