Key cog for Miami (OH) Byers provided 12 points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 8-13 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 86-84 win over Massachusetts.

Impact Byers has been the most consistent scorer for the undefeated RedHawks this year, posting 15.1 ppg to lead a group of five players in double figures. The sophomore keeps this pace with a surprisingly-low shot volume because he's excellent at getting to the charity stripe. He's attempted 102 free throws on the year -- 40 more than the second-highest player (Peter Suder).
