ELIJAH FORD, Barton Community College

Returning to action from a seven-game absence due to injury, Elijah Ford was a monster in his 28 minutes on the court leading Barton to its largest win over Butler since the 2008 season with an 89-67 victory.  The sophomore from Newark, New Jersey, matched his season high 22 points in connecting on 10 of 12 shots while posting his first double-double of the year in grabbing half of his 10 rebounds on the offensive glass.
