Taking Care of the Ball: The Saints need to limit their turnovers as they are averaging 15.3 per game… However, the defense is causing turnovers by their opponents as opponents are averaging 15.5 turnovers a game… In both of the Saints' wins, the Saints have had less turnovers than their opposition.
Naslund and Hall Leading the Offense: Jake Naslund (Barnum, Minn./Barnum HS) and
LaMonte Hall (Minneapolis, Minn./DeLaSalle HS (Saint Mary’s)) have been pacing the offense for the Saints, as both scored in double figures in both games this last weekend for the Saints… Naslund has scored in the double figures in every game but one so far this season.
First-Time Meeting: This will be the first time that the Saints have played the Knights of Crossroads College.
Crossroads College KnightsThe Knights go into the weekend with a 1-10 record… Their last game was against St. Cloud State on Tuesday which resulted in a 102-48 loss… The Knights are led by Junior guard Gabe Davila, who is averaging 12.9 points a game, and Freshman forward Isaac Bowles, who is averaging 11.9 points a game… The Knights are on a slump, losing their last eight games.
