Averaging 25.5 points and 5.5 rebounds on the week, Nainima led the Blackbirds to clinch the top seed in the NEC tournament by splitting games. In a 68-64 loss at Robert Morris, the 10-time Choice Hotels NEC Rookie of the Week honoree netted 29 points, shooting a perfect 12-for-12 from the charity stripe. Against Saint Francis (PA), the 5-5 guard stayed hot, scoring 22 points and grabbing eight rebounds. The Suva, Fiji native again was immaculate from the free throw line, going four-for-four, and has now hit 17 consecutive free throws. With the 67-58 win over the Red Flash, and pending results of tomorrow’s games, the Blackbirds will at least have a share of the regular season title.
