Augustana senior Jordan Spencer returned to his native England for a professional exhibition on Monday, and put on a show for the sold-out crowd at Copper Box Arena, scoring 32 points and dishing out eight assists in playing nearly 35 minutes off the bench.

“It was good to play back in London where it all started,” Spencer told Darren Paul of Split Focus Sports after the game. “The experience was great, I wouldn’t change it. It was fun.“

The London Lions brought the Spencer back home for the exhibition, billed as the “Big Baller London Clash” where the Lions hosted Lithuania’s Vytautas BC, a team that features both LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball, whose dad LaVar founded Big Baller Brand.

The Lions lost the game by the score of 127-110, as the Ball brothers combined for 83 points.
