How did Boogie Ellis perform against Washington?

Boogie Ellis recorded 25 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the 36 minutes he played. He scored the most points by any player in the matchup.

The game saw Ellis eclipse 2,000 points in his college career as he hopefully makes his way to the NBA. His total points have been on a steady growth since his freshman season and will hopefully surpass the 583 points he scored last season.
