Something Extra

Silverman-Llyod could be a key factor for the Bears this season. Last season, “Silverman-Lloyd averaged 10.1 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in 25 starts for WashU at shooting guard. He scored in double figures in 12 games, including seven times in conference play. Silverman-Lloyd poured in a career-best 22 points on 5-of-6 three-pointers in a 94-87 win at Rochester Feb. 15, and hit a career-high six threes in a 79-68 win at Brandeis University Jan. 25. He ranks first in the UAA in three-point field-goal percentage (.488) and third in three-pointers made per game (2.4)” according to bearsports.com.
