In their only game against decent competition this year (@UCF) they competed well for one half before UCF made an early 2nd half run and NKU spent the last 15 minutes of the game down 15+ points. UCF missed 19 free throws in that game but held NKU to only 8 second half FGs which marked only the second time this season NKU scored less than 77 points in a game.
They are one of the best 2-point shooting teams we'll face this season (61.3%) while also one of the worst free-throw shooting teams (61.8%).
It'll be interesting to see what type of line-ups we put on the floor as their two primary front court players McDonald and Walton are 45% 3-point shooters who take about 5 3s a game each so I'm not sure we can count on Brooks/Nsoseme to guard them on the perimeter.
