Amey, Jr. helped guide the Lions to a 6-0 record with his performance on the road at UC Santa Barbara.

His overall game included 11-for-19 from the field (57.9 percent) and 6-for-7 from three (85.7 percent). His six made threes set a new career high. This season, no LMU player has made more shots or scored more points than Amey did against the Gauchos. Amey also grabbed five rebounds in his 37 minutes off the bench.
