What to Know
The Cent. Arkansas Bears will take on the Niagara Purple Eagles at noon ET on Friday at National Basketball Arena. Cent. Arkansas will be strutting in after a victory while Niagara will be stumbling in from a loss.
The Bears didn't have too much trouble with the Little Rock Trojans at home on Monday as they won 82-71.
Meanwhile, Niagara ended up a good deal behind the Bucknell Bison when they played this past Saturday, losing 68-50.
Cent. Arkansas' win brought them up to 2-1 while Niagara's defeat pulled them down to 0-2. Two last-season stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Cent. Arkansas is stumbling into the game with the 53rd most turnovers per game in college basketball, having accrued 13.6 on average. But the Purple Eagles are 24th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 11.5 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
