St. Scholastica Saints
Stats
Record: 2-4, 0-0 UMAC
Upper Midwest Athletic Conference: Standings | Stats
 
The Saints will try to get back on track after an up-and-down weekend when they defeated Wisconsin-River Falls but followed that up with another defeat to Wisconsin-Superior in the Merrill Thompson Tip-Off Classic in Superior.
 
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 Knights
The 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.
