Zero — the jersey number of star senior point guard Dakari Archer and the number of shots Archer missed in a Nov. 23 win against the Embry-Riddle University Eagles. Archer, in his sharp-shooting form, went 8-8 from the field, including 5-5 from downtown.

Despite the magnitude of his performance, Archer has confident awareness of his capability to put on a show.

“It doesn’t really feel like anything to me because I know what I can do if I put the time in to get better and work hard. So it’s not something that is surprising to me,” Archer said.

The star senior paced the Eagles’ blowout win with 23 points. Archer’s perfect night pushed his season field goal percentage to a career-high 48 percent. An All-American last season, Archer’s senior campaign has been encapsulated by career highs, increasing his field goal percentage from 46 percent in 2015-16, as well as raising his three-point percentage from 38 percent last season to a lethal 43 percent beyond the arc so far this season.

Stats: (Nov. 23 against Embry-Riddle) 29 Minutes, 16 Points, 8-8 FGM/A, 1.000 FG%, 5-5 3FG/A, 1.000 3PT%

About the Contributor
Kyle Kohner, Copy Editor & Office Manager
Amid his final year with the Chimes, Kyle is a four-year vet of the publication. Before this year, Kyle began his tenure like most at the Chimes—as a freelancer and an apprentice. He’s also held positions as the online editor and the A&E staff writer in the past. He also demands that you all go watch the movie “Hereditary.” Hello there! My name is Kyle Kohner, born and raised in San Bernardino, California. I am a senior journalism student at Biola University and a self-proclaimed film buff and music addict. A movie and music critic by trade, I am a firm believer that watching film and listening to music go hand-in-hand. Because the two mediums make the world go round and humanity sane, I see it is as my job and passion to discern the good from the bad within the differing yet kindred realms of entertainment. Aside from passion for the arts, it is probably worth noting that I am the Chimes’ office manager and copy editor. I, alongside Victoria try to make sure that the content produced by this publication are without flaws. If you see an article containing the wrong usage of “they’re” or “Its,” it’s probably my fault. Outside of the Chimes, I can be seen—you guessed it—listening to music and watching movies. But I also have a deep passion for street photography.
