1/1/2020: 7-4, 2-0. RPI #93. Hend has 17, 13, and 24, 9 in these two games. I’ve been leaning on him and maybe it’s working!

1/29: 6-4, RPI #97. +1.4 PPG (#39), +0.5 RBs, +1.2 TOs. In a 4 way tie for 2nd in the A10, 1 back of 1st.

2/26: 16-12, 10-8, RPI #111. +0.7 PPG (#25), +0.7 RBs, +1.4 TOs. Alone in 6th in the A10. Mediocre season. We need to make some noise in the A10 tourney.
