With their two conference games out of the way, the continuation of a difficult non-conference slate continues today for the Central men’s basketball team. Their next task is to defend their home court against D3 No. 13-ranked Washington-St. Louis University. The Bears have already defeated a highly ranked Augustana squad on the road this season, and are 6 – 1 entering play today. They have used some height advantages to out-rebound their opponents by nearly a plus-13 margin, while scoring at a 76-points-per-game clip. Simply put, Coach Craig Douma says today’s big contest is a “statement game.” Including their 143 point outburst with a run-and-gun Grinnell team, the Dutch are averaging 88 points per game. Even without it, Central is still putting up nearly 79 tallies on the scoreboard each night out. Cory Houser and Jacob Dreyer will be live inside P.H. Kuyper for the call live on KNIAKRLS.com via our KNIA2 stream. Pre-game coverage will begin at 2:45 p.m. with tip-off slated for 3:00.
