#1. Jalen Hood-Schifino steps up and takes charge of the offense

Jalen Hood-Schifino came out in his first game without Xavier Johnson in the lineup, pouring in a career-high 17 points, seven assists, and five turnovers in 30 minutes.

If anyone questioned whether Hood-Schifino is ready to take over this offense, questions were definitely answered against Elon on Tuesday night. Hood-Schifino has the calm demeanor to lead an offense focused on Trayce Jackson-Davis, and hopefully, he will show his abilities again on Friday night.

Fully expecting Hood-Schifino to post another career-high in points and tally many assists with fewer turnovers.
