Another player making a difference was Cameron Brown, who scored 12 points along with 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

Meanwhile, Texas A&M-Commerce had to suffer through a four-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They put a hurting on the Drovers at home to the tune of 113-63. The win was just what Texas A&M-Commerce needed coming off of a 86-64 defeat in their prior game.

The Hawks' win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 3-0. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 83.3 points per game. As for the Lions, their victory bumped their record up to 1-4.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Saint Joseph's have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 39.3 rebounds per game.
