Hopefully an easy win tonight for the Cats and a chance to spread the minutes out to some of the non-starters to give some guys a break. From Brett's front-court write-up:
NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING HAWKS (5-5, 0-0 Big Sky)
G - #0 Geno Crandall 6-3/170 (9.3 ppg., 3.4 apg.)
G - #1 Corey Baldwin 6-4/190 (8.8 ppg., 3.4 rpg.)
G - #21 Quinton Hooker 6-0/205 (17.6 ppg., 5.5 rpg.)
F - #43 Drick Bernstine 6-8/220 (6.8 ppg., 7.9 rpg.)
C - #5 Carson Shanks 7-0/245 (6.4 ppg., 3.9 rpg.)
KANSAS STATE WILDCATS (8-2, 0-0 Big 12)
G - #3 Kamau Stokes 6-0/170 (9.2 ppg., 2.9 apg.)
G - #14 Justin Edwards 6-4/200 (13.8 ppg., 5.7 rpg.)
F - #25 Wesley Iwundu 6-7/210 (13.5 ppg., 3.9 rpg.)
F - #32 Dean Wade 6-10/225 (11.5 ppg., 5.8 rpg.)
F - #41 Stephen Hurt 6-11/265 (7.6 ppg., 5.6 rpg.)
Looks like their main scoring thread is their Junior Guard Quinton Hooker. Hasn't been held to less than 12 pts and has scored over 20 three times this year. Has a terrible 3 pt % at 24.5% but hits almost 80% from the line. I don't see any stats that make me nervous but the team has to come to play every night!
