February 17th NAIA Games
Games of the Day:
RV Saint Francis @ 17 Bethel 7pm ET Live Video
Bethel comes into this game losing 5 of it’s last 6 games and opening the door for Saint Francis to take over the 3rd slot in the Crossroads League with a win tonight. Saint Francis comes into this gamer on a 3 game win streak. They are back healthy and looking good. With just 48 teams getting tickets to the NAIA National Tournament, we may not see any league get 4 teams in. This is a HUGE game out in the Crossroads League.
Lourdes @ Cornerstone 7:30pm ET Live Video
Lourdes is in a 4-way tie for 1st place right now in the WHAC. Cornerstone sits just 1 game back of that grouping and can put themselves in great position with a win tonight. Both teams are really well coached and have star talent. Going to be a fun one up in the WHAC tonight!
Kansas Wesleyan @ Friends 8pm CT Live Video
Eight teams are going to make the KCAC Tournament. Right now, both Kansas Wesleyan, Friends and Avila all are tied for that 8th spot with 6 conference wins. This will be a big game for two teams trying to make the post season!
Five Players To Watch
– 5th in the NAIA in APG with 6.077
I believe the last couple times we have had Christian listed, their game got postponed. Hopefully we don’t jinx it again as we are looking forward to this matchup tonight! Christian is currently SIX assists shy of 500 in his career. If he reaches his average tonight, he will surpass that career mark!
– 1st in the NAIA in 3FGM
– 2nd in the NAIA in Total Points
– 4th in the NAIA in Total Assists
– 5th in the NAIA in 3FGM per game with 3.556
– 7th in the NAIA in PPG with 24.18

– 29th in the NAIA in FT% with 86.4ppg
– 29th in the NAIA in APG with 4.963
– 50th in the NAIA in SPG with 1.852
Not sure anything else needs to be said about how good Trevion Crews is!
– 4th in the NAIA in Total Assists
– 8th in the NAIA in Total Steals
– 11th in the NAIA in Total Scoring
– 29th in the NAIA in APG with 4.963

– 50th in the NAIA in SPG with 1.8
Cush continues to be one of the best guards in the country. He is little, but mighty! Game in and game out he just seems to get it done. USF will be needing another big game from Antwaan tonight as they charge towards making a case to get into the National Tournament.
– 43rd in the NAIA in 3FG% at 46.2
Snow has been terrific for Lourdes in his career there. He is arguably the best player in the WHAC. Tonight they have a huge game at Cornerstone. A win would be huge if they want to win the WHAC regular season.
– 42nd in the NAIA in Total Steals
– 47th in the NAIA in Total Points
– 50th in the NAIA in FG% at 55.9%
Wiersema has already had a really solid career for CUNE. As a Junior, he has taken another big step up in raising his game. He is leading the Bulldogs in PPG, APG and SPG.
