KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State men's basketball is back at home on Saturday as the Owls will host Presbyterian. The game tips off at 11 a.m. in the Convocation Center and will be streamed live on ESPN+.
A FEW NOTES
♦ The Presbyterian contest is the second in a four-game homestand for the Owls. That will be followed by games against Abilene Christian (Nov. 20) and No. 24 Rutgers (Nov. 24).
♦ This is the return game for the Blue Hose against Kennesaw State, as the teams met for the first-time ever a year ago in Clinton, a 94-84 win by the Owls.
♦ It's a new look Owl roster this year, as just three players that saw significant time a year ago are on the active roster for this season (
Simeon Cottle,
Rongie Gordon,
Frankquon Sherman). They will be joined by transfers
Andre Weir (FGCU) and
Ricardo Wright (SMU), while the Owls also boast the 40th-ranked freshman recruiting class in the nation that was expected to make an immediate impact on the court right from the start.
♦ That freshmen class have easily matched the expectations early in the season, as they combined for 75 points, and 68.2% of the Owls' total scoring production in the season-opening win over Toccoa Falls. That was followed by another strong performance at Cal Baptist where they scored 31 points in their first road game against Division I competition. Freshman
Adrian Wooley (15.3 ppg) and
Braedan Lue (15.0 ppg) currently are first and third on the team in scoring through four games.
