The Owls have had some success against Stetson recently winning four of the last five games against the Hatters.
Masterson of the Three

Over the last four games, he is 25-37 from the floor and 16-19 from behind the arc.

Against UMass, Ray scored 35 points and was one shy of tying a Kennesaw State single-season record set a couple seasons ago by
Yonel Brown.
Smart Outside Shooting
Kennesaw State doesn't shoot a lot of threes, but when they do it's usually a good shot leading to a high shooting percentage from behind the arc. The Owls lead the ASUN shooting 43.5 percent going 123-283 from three-point land.
The 43.5 percent is the second best mark in the country behind only UCLA, who makes 44.1 percent of their threes.

In the past eight games, KSU has four players shooting over 80 percent from the charity stripe and are shooting .770 from the line as a team.
Dynamic Offensive Duo
Masterson and Ray have been quite the offensive duo this season as they average 35.2 points per game together.
The two have combined to make 106 of the team's 123 three pointers this season.
