Et Tu, Bentiu?
As the lone senior on the roster, Bentiu Panoam has provided a spark off the bench for the Fighting Hawks over the last two games. The Anchorage, Alaska, native scored 11 points at Oral Roberts before knocking down a career-high four triples in a 12-point outing vs. North Dakota State.
