Yaxel Lendeborg - Last double-double not enough Lendeborg provided 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 44 minutes during Wednesday's 81-77 OT loss to UC Irvine.
Impact Lendeborg tallied his 26th double-double of the season in the loss. He finished the season leading the nation in that category with no competition still playing, as most of the top performers have lost in various postseason tournaments already. He finished his senior campaign averaging 17.7 points per game, 11.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.8 blocks. The senior recorded a double-double in more than two-thirds of the games he played for the Blazers across the 2024-2025 season.

Jurian Dixon - Strong quarterfinal performance Dixon accumulated 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 81-77 OT victory over UAB.
Impact Dixon scored more than 10 points for the first time in four games and found some strong scoring form in a game the Anteaters desperately needed. Despite struggling from three, Dixon remained efficient from the field and had a strong first half, scoring 10 of his 16 in that period.

Bent Leuchten - 19th double-double in win Leuchten racked up 18 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 81-77 OT victory over UAB.
Impact Leuchten continued to use his massive size to dominate in the NIT, overpowering UAB on Wednesday. A late hook shot put the Anteaters up in overtime and helped secure a trip to the semifinals. With his 19th double-double of the year, Leuchten sits at sixth in the NCAA for double-doubles.

Devin Tillis - Double-double to make semifinals Tillis racked up 22 points (7-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 81-77 OT win over UAB.
Impact After scoring just four points in the NIT second round, Tillis responded in a big way with a 22-point double-double. The Anteaters needed every part of the senior's sixth double-double of the year. Tillis effectively ended the game with a pair of free throws to put his team up four. The veteran guard has averaged 16.7 points and nine rebounds across three NIT games.
