The former Tennessee standout scored 19 points on 8-20 from the floor (2-3 3PT), 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals. you can see those highlights here.

McRae continued to fire away Thursday in a win over the Adelaide 36ers, 94-91. He was 8-17 from the field, including 3-8 from beyond the arc, for 23 points. He's now averaging 22.3 points per game in nearly 31 minutes of action this year.

Arsalan Kazemi: After missing several games due to a work visa issue, Kazemi returned to China and the Chongqing Fly Dragon for their November 23rd matchup. While the former Oregon forward didn't shoot well (just 2-8 FG), he went 11-12 from the line and finished with 15 points. He also added 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Kazemi still struggled to find his stroke as Chongqing returned to action Friday, finishing with 10 points on 4-8 shooting, as well as 15 rebounds.
