GAME TO REMEMBER
Nobody really shined on Saturday, but Wiggins was the driving force in the second-half surge that tied the game at 72. After sinking a three-pointer on the Hawks' opening possession, he struggled with fouls and sat the bench for a majority of the first half. He still finished with a game-high 22 points and went to the free-throw line nine times, where he made seven attempts.

GAME TO FORGET
After getting the start over Nadir Tharpe, Mason didn't make Self feel overly confident in that decision. He still scored double-digits with 11, but he seemed to settle for three against Colorado's zone defense as he went 1-5 from beyond the arc. He also went 4-7 from the free-throw line. The freshman is playing behind his years, but this game was a minor setback in his first-year campaign.

UNSUNG HERO
Mason
Fens would have loved to see Ellis assert himself more, but he was efficient in the few shots he did take. He went 5-6 from the field including a layup that tied the game with seconds on the clock. He led the team with eight rebounds and chipped in three assists.
