Double Digit Wins

Since joining Division I during the 2005-06 season, it is the seventh time that the Owls have had double-digit wins.
 
Winning Ways in January
The Owls had a winning record in January for the first time since joining Division I with a 5-4 record. Three of those victories came on the road against Tennessee State, Jacksonville and NJIT.
 
The win at Tennessee State capped a non-conference schedule for Kennesaw State with a win against the 61st team in the RPI at the time.
 
 
Taking Care of the Ball
In 11 of the last 14 games, Kennesaw State has had more assists than turnovers and that has led to success in the win column as KSU is 7-5 in their last 12 games.
 
Through eight ASUN games, the Owls are leading the conference averaging 16.3 assists per game. In those games, they also have only committed 11.8 turnovers per game giving them a 1.4 assist to turnover rating which is second in the conference behind Stetson.
 
Dynamic Offensive Duo
Masterson and Ray have been quite the offensive duo this season as they average 34.3 points per game together.
 
The two are the primary threats from the outside as they have combined to hit 140 of the team's 168 three pointers this year. Both do it at a high percentage as well as both are in the top 30 in the nation in three-point field goal percentage.
