KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State looks to bounce back from its first home loss of the season as the Owls are on the road Saturday to face Central Arkansas at 4 p.m. (ET) in Conway, in a game streamed live on ESPN+.
A FEW NOTES
♦ Kennesaw State comes into the weekend looking to bounce back after suffering its first home loss of the season, as the Owls fell to North Alabama 90-84 despite a school-record 37 points from
Terrell Burden.
♦ Despite the loss to UNA, a win at Central Arkansas would still keep the Owls in the top three of the ASUN standings, as they currently trail Eastern Kentucky (6-0) and North Florida (5-1).
♦ This will be the fourth all-time meeting between the two schools. KSU has won the three previous matchups, all by double-digits including last year's 16-point win in Conway.
♦ Under first-year head coach
Antoine Pettway, the Owls are playing at the second-fastest pace in the nation (according to KenPom). In addition, KSU also ranks fourth in the NCAA in fastbreak points (17.5 ppg), sixth in three-point field goal attempts per game (29.6) and 17th in scoring per game (84.3 ppg). Senior guard
Terrell Burden meanwhile is 23rd in the nation in assists per game (5.9).
♦ Burden is also 15 points away from moving into a tie for fourth all-time in scoring at KSU with 1,438 points.
