Louison dropped in 18 points and brought down 13 rebounds in a loss to Drew and fell one rebound shy of another double-double with 19 points and nine rebounds in a loss to Staten Island.

Louison finished off his week with 11 points and 13 caroms in a victory over Culinary Institute. For the week, Louison shot 53.8 percent from the field (21-of-39) and also swiped 2.7 steals per game.
