[ALPHAGRIZISANUT]

This week's starting five
Travis Bader (Oakland): On Thursday night, the Oakland guard scored a Division I season-high 47 points during an 89-71 win over IUPUI. On Saturday night, he scored 26 points in the Grizzlies' 67-60 victory over Western Illinois. He's shot 16-for-30 from the 3-point line in his past two games.

Lorenzo Brown (NC State): The point guard helped the Wolfpack recover from a midweek loss at Wake Forest, as he collected 20 points, 11 assists, two steals and a block (five turnovers) in a 91-83 home win over rival North Carolina on Saturday. Brown's standout performance (13 points, 10 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals) on Tuesday wasn't enough to help NC State avoid an 86-84 loss at Wake Forest.

Darrun Hilliard (Villanova): Hilliard helped Villanova complete an amazing week when he scored 25 points (seven rebounds, six assists and a steal, too) in the Wildcats' 75-71 overtime win against No. 3 Syracuse on Saturday. He finished with 11 points, four rebounds and three steals in Tuesday's 73-64 win over No. 5 Louisville.

Ramon Galloway (LaSalle): The Explorers participated in their own impressive stretch for a Big 5 school. Galloway, a senior, scored 31 points in LaSalle's 69-61 win at No. 19 VCU on Saturday. He was 4-for-8 from the 3-point line. He recorded two steals in Wednesday's 54-53 win over No. 9 Butler.

Kenny Kadji (Miami): The senior recorded 22 points (9-for-18) in his program's 90-63 win over No. 1 Duke on Wednesday. It was Miami's first win over a No. 1 team. The Hurricanes had lost six previous matchups against No. 1 squads. Kadji also finished with six rebounds, two blocks and a steal.
