Last season, WMU split their two games against Toledo, but WMU struggled to slow down senior guard Jonathan Williams, who dropped 24 points in Toledo’s victory and 21 points in Western’s victory last season. Williams is second in the MAC in scoring, putting up 284 points thus far. He is averaging just over 20 points per game, while his field goal percentage is only .465.
Slowing Williams down will be key for WMU, as their next leading scorer, senior forward Steve Taylor Jr., is 11th in the MAC, scoring 200 points this season, averaging just over 15 points per game.
