MSU hits the court for the first time in a week
Montana State hosts Walla Walla University, an NAIA foe, on Saturday at 7 pm in Worthington Arena. The Wolves feature Bozeman's Dylan Browning, a freshman from Mt. Ellis Academy. The Bobcats have been idle since a 79-54 loss at Wyoming on November 30.
MISCELLANY...
*Two of the four games MSU plays before Big Sky play begins come in Worthington Arena
*MSU out-shoots its opponents 23.0-to-18.0 from the line in home games, but away from Bozeman average just 15.2 FTs a game to the foe's 32.2
*The Cats finished in the nation's top 30 last year with a turnover margin of +3.1, but is -0.1 this season
SERIES NOTES...
*The Walla Walla team visiting Worthington Arena Saturday features freshman Dylan Browning of Bozeman (Mt. Ellis Academy), and assistant coach Tucker Urdahl, who coached the Bozeman Bucks for one summer
ON THE OFFENSE...
*Montana State hit 21 treys in two games against Cal State Northridge, 24 total in the other five games combined
*The Bobcats shot 52% against Northridge at home, its best shooting game of the season and its only over 50%
*MSU has not had a positive assist-to-turnover ratio in a game yet in 2013-14
ON THE DEFENSE...
*The Cats had held opponents to eight straight shooting halves below 50% before Wyoming erupted for a 13-for-16 second half last Saturday
* The 18 turnovers MSU forced against Cal State Northridge in Bozeman was the most this season
PLAYER NOTES...
G-Marcus Colbert shoots 64% at home, 45% elsewhere
G-Calen Coleman scored a career-high 18 points vs. Northridge at CMU
F-Terrell Brown shoots 89.5% from the free throw line, and his five TOs on the season is the fewest for anyone averaging at least 10 minutes a game
F-Eric Norman leads the team with seven blocked shots
C-Paul Egwuonwu has at least five boards in each game, and averages 8.6
6-Flavien Davis shoots just 38% on the season after hitting 49% in 2012-13
