Sullivan finished the week averaging 23.5 points, 6.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds while shooting just under 40 percent from 3-point range while shooting 18-of-23 at the line. In addition to leading the Wildcats to a pair of wins, Sullivan became the third transfer and 47th player in a Davidson uniform to score his 1,000th career point. The milestone came in a 19-point, seven-assist performance against George Mason. A shooting guard from Upper Arlington, Ohio, he capped his week with a game/season-high 28 points, including four 3-pointers in the Wildcats' 77-69 win at La Salle.

A guard from Decatur, Ga., he was named ESPN SportsCenter Star of the Night by Jay Harris. His stat line was just fourth 34-18-5 line in Division I since 1996-97 and the first in program history. It also was his first double-double and it set career-highs in points and rebounds. Price also had 22 points in a loss to Davidson, shooting 19-of-43 (.442) from the field and 11-for-1212 (.917) from the line.
