He hit 59 percent from the field (13-of-22), 67 percent from the 3-point line (4-of-6) and 67 percent from the free throw line (6-of-9). Miller averaged 18 points and 11.5 rebounds. He scored 18 points and completed his fourth-straight double-double at EIU with 18 points and 14 rebounds. He followed with 18 points and nine rebounds at SIUE.
He currently ranks ninth in OVC scoring (14.8ppg) and sixth in rebounding (8.0rpg).
Miller also won the OVC weekly award on Dec. 26. Teammate Jonathan Stark was the OVC Newcomer of the Week in the first four weeks of the season, giving the Racers six awards this season.
