Game Notes: Purdue Fort Wayne | Green Bay
Know Your Foe
A much improved from last season Green Bay team comes to the Summit City on Thursday. The Phoenix own Division I non-league wins over UMass, Iona and UC Santa Barbara. They won at IU Indy in league play, but have losses to Wright State and Robert Morris. C.J. O'Hara is averaging 12.7 points per game.
Series History
Purdue Fort Wayne leads 9-2, winning the last nine games. Green Bay's only two wins came in the 2020-21 regular season when games were played in empty gyms. Even that year, though, the 'Dons topped Green Bay 89-84 in double overtime in the league's postseason. That game is best remembered for Jalon Pipkins' game-tying 3-pointer at the buzzer of the first overtime session.
'Dons & Ends
// In December, Corey Hadnot II was named to the Lou Henson Award Watch List. The award recognizes the best player in NCAA Mid-Major Division I basketball. The award is given out at the end of the season.
// The Mastodons have eight games this season with single-digit turnovers, including just two vs. Detroit- Mercy on Dec. 14.
// Corey Hadnot II is one of only five juniors or seniors in NCAA Division I men's basketball currently averaging 20 or more points who entered the season never having averaged 10 points in a season. (Cameron Carr, Baylor | Chandler Cuthrell, Elon | MJ Collins, Utah State | Dennis Parker Jr, Radford)
// The win over Notre Dame put the 'Dons on a four-game win streak. The 'Dons have now had a winning streak of at least four games in every season since 2009-10 except for one (2017-18). That is 16-of-17 seasons.
// The top two scoring games in the league this season belong to Corey Hadnot II. He had 33 at Oakland (Dec. 3) and 32 at Western Michigan (Nov. 12). Mikale Stevenson's 29 against Chicago State (Nov. 25) is the fifth best scoring performance in the league this season.
// Through four league games, Corey Hadnot II is averaging 21.8 points per game in league play, second best in the league.
// Jon Coffman picked up his 200th career victory on Nov. 15 against Boyce. He is the program's leader in victories.
// DeAndre Craig Jr. has scored double-digits 15-of-16 games this season. He has four games of exactly 18 points this year. The only game under 10 points was a seven-point outing vs. Chicago State (Nov. 25). He tied a career high with 22 points vs. Oakland.
// Darius Duffy has 73 rebounds on the season, 40 have been on the offensive glass.
// Redshirt freshman Ebrahim Kaba has shown early results from beyond the arc, hitting 16-of-43 (38.1 percent) from three.
// DeAndre Craig Jr. has demonstrated an ability to fill up the box score. Not only does he have 10+ points in all but one game this season, he has three games with six or more rebounds, three games with five or more assists and two games with three steals; all while turning the ball over only 16 times in 397 minutes.
