Harvey, a junior guard, averaged 23.5 points and a 4.0 assist/turnover ratio in a 1-1 week for the Greyhounds. He poured in a career-high 34 points in the win over Tennessee State, the highest total for a Greyhounds player since Andre Collins scored 36 at Niagara in January 2006. His six three-pointers were the sixth-best single-game performance in school history. Harvey scored 12 of his team’s final 13 points in the win over the Tigers, making a pair of three-pointers and then six straight foul shots to put the game away.

Lewis, a junior guard, scored a game-high 20 points and set a career high with eight blocked shots in a 79-62 victory over Towson on Sunday night. The eight blocks were the most ever by an NU guard, and was one off the school record set in 1987. Lewis also handed out a career-high six assists while picking up four steals. In a pivotal 10-2 first-half run, Lewis scored all 10 points on back-to-back three-pointers and a pair of dunks in a 10-second span.
