He followed that up with 30 points, 10 rebounds and six assists in a win at Southern Utah on Saturday. It was his fourth double-double of the season and the 11th of his career. For the week, Hill averaged 32.0 points on 65 percent shooting, including 64 percent from three-point range, 7.5 rebounds and four assists. He moved into 11th place on IUPUI's all-time scoring list (1,233 points) and ninth in career steals (129).
