KSU as a Team                                                  
»    After sweeping Jacksonville and Stetson, Kennesaw State notched 10 wins on the season. That is the most wins since the 2009-10 team that had 13.
»    Defensively, Kennesaw State has gotten better and better this year. The Owls rank second in conference play in field goal percentage behind only Florida Gulf Coast.
»    The team is also third on the league in blocked shots averaging 3.5 per game. The team has three players in double-digits as Willy Kouassi leads the team with 32, Bernard Morena has 21 and Jordan Jones has 11.
»    The Owls are currently second in the A-Sun in free throw percentage at .722. More importantly, the team makes them when they count the most in the final four minutes of the game. In the Owls 10 wins, the team has sank free throws at a 80.5 percent clip going 62 of 77 from the line. In the last win, Willy Kouassi stepped to line and hit two free throws to help ice the game.
 
KSU Individually                                              
»    Coming into his final regular season game for the Owls, Delbert Love has been a prolific scorer in his time with Kennesaw State. He is in the top three in scoring, scoring average, field goals and three point field goals made in the KSU NCAA Division I Record Book. Love has also been a great student in the class room as he was named to the 2013-14 A-Sun All-Academic Team.
»    Yonel Brown set a new Kennesaw State record in the second win over Jacksonville by hitting seven three pointers. The previous record of six had been tied three times by Nigel Pruitt this season. Brown got hot in the second half going 5 for 5 from behind the arc to help guide the Owls to the 13-point victory.
»    This season, the Owls have had three players win A-Sun Weekly Awards. The first two were won by Brown and Nigel Pruitt, who each won Player of the Week and the third was when Damien Wilson was named Newcomer of the Week. Before those three weekly awards, the Owls hadn't won any since the 2012-13 season.
»    Brown's consistent scoring has him third in the league averaging 15.5 points per game. In the Owls 10 wins, Brown has led the Owls averaging 21.1 points per game on the offensive end. He has scored in double figures in 23 of the 30 games for the Owls this season.
»    Lallathin always says that Pruitt can be an x-factor if he wants to be with the way he can score. There have been three games this season he has led KSU on runs that went at least 9-0. In the latest game against FGCU, Pruitt went 4 for 4 in the first half from behind the arc and got fouled on another attempt leading to 14 points at halftime.
