Led by Kevyn Green, who is averaging 18.8 points per game, Southeastern is scoring 75.6 points per game. Patterson's Warrell Span (13.3), the team leader with 9.0 rebounds per game, is next in scoring for the Lions followed by Patrick Sullivan (9.0), Chris Cyprian (8.5) and freshman Brandon Fortenberry (7.5).
