Brian Taylor - Impressive rebounding total Taylor ended with 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 69-48 victory over Southeast Missouri State.
Impact Taylor was the second scoring option on the team for most of the season, defaulting to primary ball handler and scorer Ray'Sean Taylor. The junior made an impact in different ways in both games of the OVC Tournament, dishing out five assists in the semifinals despite a cold shooting night and foul trouble. SEMO shot 28 percent from the field, contributing to Taylor's larger rebounding numbers despite being more of a score-first player.
