Badmus leads the Cavalier men in scoring and rebounding, averaging 21.8 points per game and 8.4 rebounds per game. The redshirt senior forward went 53-for-106 (50 percent) from the field and 27-for-51 (52.9 percent) from three-point range in the month of November.

In the Cavs matchup against No. 4 Lincoln Memorial, Badmus went 10-for-15 from the field and hit five shots from downtown as he finished with 32 points on the afternoon. The 6-foot-7 forward scored 21 of the Cavaliers 38 first half points against the Railsplitters.

Badmus followed that performance collecting a new season-high 33 points against an aggressive West Virginia State squad. In that contest, the London, England native hit 11-of-18 shots from the floor and accounted for all six of the Cavaliers three-point field goals, shooting 100 percent from downtown in the second half.

Badmus ended the month being named as the Mountain East Conference Player of the Week for his performances against Notre Dame College, Berea College, and No. 4 Lincoln Memorial University. During that week Badmus averaged 26 points and 8.3 rebounds, highlighted by his 22 points and nine rebounds in the Cavaliers double-overtime road victory against Notre Dame.

Among MEC individual leaders, Badmus ranks fifth in scoring and fourth in rebounding.
