The Pokes are deep with five players averaging double-digit points and 12 players logging more than 10 minutes per game. Vyctorius Miller (17.5 ppg on 58/50/88 shooting splits) and Jaylen Curry (15.5 ppg, 5.5 apg) have been the best of the bunch.

NU is led by Nick Martinelli, who is averaging 19.3 ppg with transfers Arrinten Page (15.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game) and Jayden Reid (13.5 ppg, 6.2 apg) making a big impact as well.

The Wildcats are 59th in the country in average offensive possession length but rank dead last among 365 schools in opponent possession length.

They like to push the pace when they have the ball, but four of their six opponents (Mercyhurst, Boston University, Virginia, and South Carolina) are among the slowest teams in the country.

Going up against an OK State squad that ranks third in the country in adjusted tempo will lead to plenty of possessions for both sides. With both teams also shooting extremely well, expect this game to eclipse the lofty total.
