NORFOLK, Virginia -Hampton University coach Ed Joyner Jr., considers Quinton Chievous his sixth starter. Minus one starter in championship week, the Pirates benefited from the luxury.
Chievous, the versatile 6-foot-6 transfer, carried the Pirates to a 75-64 win against rival Norfolk State on Friday and to the brink of a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship.
“He’s the reason we’re sitting here right now,” Joyner said. “He made big free throws, he got big rebounds, he made timely shots. I think the biggest thing out of all of it was his communication. He stayed in constant communication with everybody.”
Chievous more than made up for the absence of leading scorer and rebounder Dwight Meikle, with a career-high 23 points and a career best-tying 16 rebounds.
