In Euroleague play, Schilb pitched in 9.3 ppg, 3.9 rpg and 4.0 apg.
 
Playing for Quilmes in Argentina this season, Tracy Robinson (2004-08) put up 10.9 ppg, 3.3 rpg and 1.4 apg and helped his team reach the semifinal round of the LigaA playoffs. The 6-foot-7 forward, who averaged 5.2 ppg and 2.2 rpg in his Loyola career, shot 51 percent (150-for-295) from the field, 34 percent (66-for-195) from beyond the arc, and 75 percent (123-for-164) from the foul line in 2016-17.
