Jordan Talley (6’, 180, Richmond) was named to the All-Tourney team after scoring 14 points and dishing out a team-high eight assists in the narrow win over Kiski.

Coach Ed Huckaby likes where his team is after the big weekend in Pennsylvania.

“This team competes. It reminds me a lot of last year. We had guys that would really compete,” Huckaby said. “If you look at this current team, it’s the same M.O. We really compete. And I’m happy about that, happy about where we are.
