Senior Drew Housman’s veteran presence led the way with team-highs of 16 points and 6 assists, and freshman Max Kenyi used his athleticism to slash to the basket and draw fouls, going eight-of-nine from the charity stripe for a total of 14 points.“That’s what we need from Max,” Amaker said. “We need him to make a splash and make his presence...
