KNIGHTS OF KNOTE

Brown has averaged 14.8 points per contests along with 5.3 rebounds and a .444 field goal percentage. The Corona, Calif. native was named to the PacWest/CCAA All-Tournament Team after compiling 35 points and 13 rebounds while seeing a total of 55 minutes. In the following tournament, junior Cole Morgan was named All-Tourney following his combined, 31 point, 10 rebound performance during the NNU Invitational.
 
SAINTS NEARLY PERFECT
With a 3-1 record to begin the season, Saint Martins only dropped their second contest of the year against Point Loma. Since then, they have gone 2-0 while defeating the likes of UH Hilo and Cal State Monterey Bay. The Saints have three players averaging double-digit points including Luke Chavez who leads the team with 15.8 per game. On the defensive-end, Jordan Kitchen is the team-leader with an average, 7.5 rebounds per contest.   
 
MINERS PICK UP FIRST WIN
Two games into their 2017-18 schedule, Missouri S&T had yet to find their first victory. However, that all changed in their previous matchup when they defeated Robert Morris-Peoria by nearly 20 points (79-60). Although participating in only two of Missouri S&T's games thus far, Sebastian Ferenc is the Miner's team's biggest contributor, averaging a double-double with 18.0 points and 10.5 rebounds.
