Jennings never trailed and led start to finish. #23) Elijah Hicks did an excellent job on Duchesne’s #23) Fairless and actually made him look bad in the third quarter. They did well on the free throw line in the second half 18/23 78%. They didn’t hit a three pointer 0 for 7. Jennings played very well tonigh especially on defense.
