In the team’s second game of the weekend, Hayes carried the team on his back scoring a school-record 57 points on 15-25 shooting. Even more impressive was his 30 free throw attempts, of which he made 26. He only attempted three shots from beyond the arc, making one. Hayes chipped in seven rebounds, three assists, three steals, and a blocked shot in the all-around effort.   

He also set single-game school records in free throws made and attempted.
