Chambers hasn't had as many starts for Cowley Junior College (28-4) in Kansas, but has been a contributor, including a basket that helped the Tigers gain an overtime victory Saturday night, and four points in the KJCCA Region VI championship game played at Wichita State University. Chambers has appeared in 26 of the Tigers games and is averaging 3.5 ppg with 71 rebounds and 12 blocked shots.

Lee has appeared in 27 of the 28 games played by Presbyterian College (4-23). The Blue Hose wrap up their regular season Monday night with Coastal Carolina. Then it's on to the Big South Tournament this weekend.
