KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State looks to snap its current losing streak as the Owls will face Lipscomb in Nashville on Saturday at 5 p.m. in Atlantic Sun Conference action at Allen Arena. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+.
A FEW NOTES
♦ KSU comes into Saturday's game looking for its second conference road win of the season, but at a place the Owls traditionally have not had much success in. All-time, KSU is 1-17 at Lipscomb, with the lone win coming in the 2015-16 season.
♦ A year ago, the Owls snapped a 12-game losing streak to the Bisons with two wins in Kennesaw, including an 80-71 victory in the Atlantic Sun Semifinals.
♦ The good news for KSU is that it's been such a competitive season in the Atlantic Sun this year, the Owls are just two games out of a tie for third place. Currently tied with three other schools for seventh place, the Owls know every game over the last few weeks will be even more important to both clinch a spot in the conference tournament and in seeding purposes as well.
♦ Under first-year head coach
Antoine Pettway, the Owls are playing at the sixth-fastest pace in the nation (according to KenPom). In addition, KSU also ranks sixth in the NCAA in fastbreak points (16.7 ppg), fourth in three-point field goal attempts per game (29.8) and 17th in scoring per game (83.8 ppg). Senior guard
Terrell Burden meanwhile is 12th in the nation in assists per game (6.2).
