Preview - Tigers vs Schreiner & Colorado
Â
The Tigers will travel to Kerrville to take on Schreiner University on Tuesday, February 6th at 5:30 PM, and then will be back home against Colorado College on Sunday, February 11th at noon.
Â
On the Schreiner Mountaineers: The Mountaineers are 12-9 (7-5 SCAC) before they play the Tigers for the second time this season. The last time out, the Tigers defeated Schreiner 82-81 in a nail biter at the beginning of the new year. Since then, the Mountaineers have gone 2-4 in their next six games. In their four losses, they have been all less than 10 points. Junior center Kamden Ross leads Schreiner, averaging 19.3 points and 13.3 rebounds per game this season. Apart from that, Schreiner is not deep offensively after the starters, as the bench only put in 10 points against Trinity in their last game. The Tigers are now 21-14 all-time against the Mountaineers.
Â
On the Colorado College Tigers: Colorado holds a 12-9 (6-6 SCAC) record so far. Colorado has been stingy offensively this season as they only have three games where they have scored more than 80 points as a team. In their last match, both Tigers went into halftime tied at 39, but the good guys exploded in the second half and outscored Colorado 45-30. Colorado is led by Dinari Boykin with 12.2 points per game. The caveat to that, however, is that Boykin is struggling percentage wise as he is just shooting 36 percent. The Tigers are now 27-11 against CC.Â
Looking Ahead - Regular Season Round Up
Â
The Tigers will finish off the regular season against the University of St. Thomas and Centenary College on February 16th and 18.Â
