// Jalen Jackson is averaging 19.7 points per game. Should he finish the season at 20.0 per contest it would rank third in the program's Division I history in single-season scoring average. Bryson Scott (2017-18) averaged 22.6 and Frank Gaines (2011-12) averaged 21.2. All-time program history, including the DII era, only six players have averaged 20 points in a season.
// Jalen Jackson went over 500 points for the season on Feb. 5 against Wright State. He now has two 500 point seasons. Mastodons who own multiple 500-point seasons in the program's DI era: Jarred Godfrey (3), Bryson Scott and Frank Gaines. Nick Wise did it in the program's final year of DII and then the following season in 2001-02, the first in Division I. John Konchar reached 500 points in a season only once.
// The 'Dons are 11-1 at home at this season, but these next few notes are just on the Mastodons' nine home games against Division I teams.
- Jalen Jackson is averaging 20.9 points and Rasheed Bello is averaging 20.0 points.
- Scoring margin: +10.9
- The 'Dons are averaging 8.9 turnovers and forcing 15.0 turnovers with 9.3 steals from the 'Dons.
// The Mastodons drew a crowd of 2,603 to the home game vs. Cleveland State on Jan. 30 aired live on ESPNU. It was the largest crowd for a non-exhibition home game (excluding the 2016 game vs. Indiana) since Dec. 1, 2012 when 3,033 saw the 'Dons defeat Miami (Ohio) 57-56.
// Head coach Jon Coffman is nearing 200 coaching wins. He owns 197 wins, already a program record.
// The 'Dons are receiving votes in the latest College Insider Mid-Major Top 25 Poll.
// The Mastodons opened the season 9-0 at home, the best undefeated home stretch to start a season in the program's NCAA Division I history.
