20/20 VISION
Sophomore Jarred Godfrey opened the season with 24 points at UNLV and 20 against Manchester. The last freshman or sophomore to score 20 in back-to-back games for the Mastodons was John Konchar as a freshman in 2015-16 when he scored 22 at South Dakota State and at Omaha. Konchar never accomplished the feat as a sophomore.
ON THE OPENER VS UNLV
• Jarred Godfrey scored a career-high 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting with three assists, three steals and two rebounds while committing no turnovers.
• The Mastodons shot 75 percent (18-of-24) from the floor in the second half.

ON THE WIN OVER MANCHESTER

'DONS AND ENDS AFTER TWO GAMES
• The 'Dons lead the nation in total steals with 23. The 'Dons had 10 against UNLV and 13 against Manchester.
• Four Mastodons (Deonte Billups, DeMierre Black, Tionne Rollins and Matt Havey) have seen their first NCAA Division I collegiate minutes.

NEARING TRIPLE DIGITS
Head coach Jon Coffman owns a 97-69 record. He has the most wins in the NCAA Division I era (2001 to present) in program history. Only Andy Piazza has more wins on the Mastodon bench. Piazza went 142-108 from 1987-96 when the 'Dons were a member of NCAA Division II.
YEAH... BUT...
The 'Dons do not return an All-Summit League First Team, Second Team or Honorable Mention selection this season. But... the last time the 'Dons didn't return an all-league performer was 2015-16... and all the 'Dons did that year was win the Summit League Regular Season Championship.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME
The Mastodons have attained an overall home record of 139-48 in Fort Wayne since 2006-07. The 'Dons are 85-27 in home games played at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum and 54-21 in home games played on campus at the Hilliard Gates Sports Center.
SMART TOO
In the latest Graduation Success Rate scores released by the NCAA in October, men's basketball earned a 92. It tied with Notre Dame for third best in the state of Indiana among men's hoops programs.
A BIT ON THE NEW GUYS
Jalin Wimberly and DeMierre Black were both named to the Honorable Mention list of 2019's www.JucoRecruiting.com's Top 100 Ranking.
FOR THE KIDS
Each year in October the Mastodons host a kids basketball clinic with the other two college basketball programs in Fort Wayne (Saint Francis and Indiana Tech). The proceeds from the one-day camp benefit the American Cancer Society. This year over 100 kids attended the camp.
FINAL SUMMIT
The 2019-20 campaign will be the final for the Mastodons in the Summit League. Next season the Mastodons will join the Horizon League. The longest trip in the Horizon League, Green Bay at six hours, will match the shortest trip for the Mastodons in the Summit League (Western Illinois). The Mastodons joined the Summit League in 2007-08 making the 2019-20 season a 13-year run.
