Stover also added 7 rebounds in 39 minutes. The Regular Season already ended. It's Stover's first season with the team. He has individually a very good year with high stats. Stover averages 22.4ppg, 9.4rpg, 2.5apg and 1.2spg. He is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas.

He scored 6 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. Terceira Basket SUSIARTE (7-11) is placed eighth in the LPB. It was his team's first victory after four consecutive loses. There are only four games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. Nix has relatively good stats this year 11.3ppg and 6.6rpg in 17 games.
