Lou Henson Award Watchlist
After being named to the ASUN Preseason All-Conference team,
Kendrick Ray was selected to the Lou Henson Preseason Watch List. The Lou Henson award goes to the nation's top mid-major player in the country.
Ray is currently second in the ASUN averaging 22.0 ppg after scoring 33 against Alabama State and 31 against UMBC.
Double-Double Machine
Aubrey Williams has started his senior year being one of the best players on the court on offense and defense. Through five games, the senior is averaging 14.2 points and 14.2 rebounds with four double-doubles. Last season, Ray had the most double-doubles all season with four.
Comeback Time
The Owls fell behind 21 points in their home opener against Brewton Parker before making a huge comeback in front of their home crowd to secure their first victory of the season.
Dating back to the 2009-10 season, Kennesaw State has made seven combacks when facing a double-digit deficit. The largest comeback the Owls made during that stretch was 16 points against Texas A&M Corpus Christi in 2011.
Second in the Nation in Rebounds
Williams is second in the nation in rebounds per game with 14.2 and second in the nation with 71 rebounds so far this season. In the last four games alone, he has averaged 15.75.

Ray Heating Up
For the season, Ray is second in the ASUN averaging 22.0 points per game. The last two games, he has set a new career high with 33 points against Alabama State and scored 31 points on the road against UMBC.
This season, Ray has scored at least 20 points in three of the five games and been in double-figures every game this season. After scoring 33 against Alabama State, he has scored over 30 four times in his career.
Halftime Adjustments
The Owls have outscored their opponents 232-208 in the second half of games this season. A big part of that has been the perimeter defense for the Owls. In the two wins, KSU has held their opponents to a combined 1-17 from three-point land.
Closing in on 400
Head Coach
Al Skinner is close to a career milestone as he currently sits on win 398 after defeating Alabama State. Career wins wise, Coach Skinner has the second most only behind Eddie Payne of USC Upstate, who has 471 career victories.
