He finished second in the country with 27

An imposing defender, Deng Gai led the country in blocked shots with 5.5 per game as a senior and finished in the top five of that category every year. He is the MAAC's all-time leading shot blocker with a 4.44 career average. Gai was not just a raw shot-blocking talent; he also averaged 13.3 points per game.Gai was a three-time MAAC Defensive Player of the Year and a two-time All-MAAC First Team member (if not for his injury in 2003-04, he would have been a four-time DPOY and a three-time First Teamer).. He was too much of a chucker to be considered a member of the MAAC All-Decade Team, but Charron Fisher was a talent. He finished second in the country with 27.6 points per game in 2007-08 and was named to two All-MAAC First Teams..
