WILDCAT STAT TRACKER


INSIDE THE BOX
  • The Wildcats jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead, but a rare four-point play by Titans Serigo Diaz shrunk the lead quickly.
  • It was hot shooting through the first 12 minutes for the Wildcats, shooting 13-of-26 for a whopping 50%. IWU was just two makes short of matching IUSB's shot total. In addition, the Wildcats hadn't committed a turnover, while the Titans totaled five. IWU didn't commit a turnover until the 4:37 minute mark. 
  • Mangas pushed IWU to their largest lead of the game (19 points) at the 3:53 mark in the first half, making a nice up and under off the glass layup.
  • IWU grabbed 50 rebounds, their most in 16 games, and 15 were offensive, their most in 18 games. 
  • The Wildcats blocked nine shots, giving them 19 games with at least five blocks in the contest.
  • IWU made just four triples tying their season low.


MR. 450
