Following three straight games against ranked opponents away from Omaha, the Bluejays get a bit of a breather on Saturday when they take on the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars. SIUE is just 1-3 on the season, and ranked in the 300s by most computer models after finishing 6-24 (1-15 in the Ohio Valley) last year.
The Cougars are led by Daniel Kinchen, a 6’3”, 155-pound junior who’s averaging 21.8 points through four contests. 65% of his shot attempts have been three-pointers, and with his slight build (that’s not a misprint; he really does weigh 155 pounds) he doesn’t typically drive to the rim or even inside the arc very often.
