#13 LSU Alexandria vs Florida Memorial 2:30pm CT – Battle at the Beach –ย Watch Live
Sam Mack leads Florida Memorial in points per game with 22.5ppg, while 7’0 big man Mubashar Ali has NBA scouts following him. They will need a team effort tonight though if they plan to take down #13 LSUA. Alexandria is led by Jordan Adebutu with 24.5ppg. LSUA is off to a bit of a sluggish start to the season at 2-2 overall. The Generals have a great opportunity this weekend at the Battle at the Beach to get some momentum swung in the right direction.ย

ย #8 College of Idaho @ Montana Techย 4:00pm MTย Live Video
We get our first look at #8 College of Idaho later today. They carry a 25 game win streak over from last season, but also will be looking to fill the shoes of All-American stud PG Talon Pinckney and All-American Wing Nate Bruneel. Montana Tech hasn’t played in a month, as they dropped their opener to Dickinson State back on October 23rd. Sindou Diallo, the reigning Frontier Conference Newcomer of the Year and Honorable Mention All-American will be looking to get the Orediggers back on track today.ย
New Keiser Head Coach Chief Bryant has his Eagles soaring into the Battle of the Beach on a three game win streak. They are coming off of an impressive win @ Mobile. This William Carey team has struggled to get games in this season so don’t let their 1-2 record fool you. Their two losses are two road losses to Top 25 teams. Dajon Whitworth and company will look to have a big weekend at the Battle of the Beach.ย

Five Players To Watch
CoreVon Lott 6’1 G Keiser – 16.0ppg/2.4rpg
CoreVon is coming of being named The Sun Conference POTW after averaging 22ppg in two wins last week. Including an impressive win over Sun Conference favorite Southeastern (FL).ย
Ricardo Time 6’0 G College of Idahoย
Ricardo is coming off of a big Junior season where he averaged 10.4ppg as part of a balanced Yote attack last season. With Pinckney now gone, it truly could be time, for Ricardo Time, to fill the shoes of the All-American.ย
Bryce Knox 6’4 Dickinson State – 14.5ppg/6.5rpg
The NCAA D2 Western Washington transfer has had a great start to the season. He has helped the Blue Hawks get off to a hot 3-1 start and will look to build off of that today against a tough Dakota Wesleyan team.
Sindou Diallo 6’3 G Montana Tech – 8ppg/3rpg
It wasn’t a great 1st game for the Honorable Mention All-American from last year. However, Diallo is a stud, and that game was over a month ago. You can be sure that he has put that behind him and will need to have a big game if the Orediggers want any chance at pulling the upset today!
Jalin Wimberlyย 6’5 G Reinhardt – 16.7ppg/5.3rpg
The NCAA D1 transfer from IPFW has had a great start to the season and is a big part of why the Eagles sit at 3-0 right now. They get a unique situation tonight where they will actually play an Appalachian Athletic Conference game on a neutral court as part of NAIA The Show 2020. Jalin is a big guard who is a tough matchup with his size. Should be primed for a big game tonight against Bluefield.ย
