Individual Leaders

• Leading the Ranger offensive unit tonight was Adrian Motley who finished with 22 total points to lead the home team. Motley also tallied 10 rebounds, putting him in the double-double category and went 2-2 from the free throw line. 
• Brandon Green also had a solid stat line as he collected six points, dished out five assists, and thieved away two passes.

Game Changer

• Three-pointers were certainly a weakness for both squads in this contest as the Muleriders went just 3-12 from beyond the arc and the Rangers finished 1-14.
• The turnover differential was in the black-and-red's favor as the home team only committed 11 total turnovers compared to the Muleriders 16.
• The charity stripe created some difficulties for both Southern Arkansas and Northwestern both on the evening with SAU shooting 6-14 from the line and the Rangers only 11-26.

Up Next

• Northwestern Oklahoma State Men's basketball will continue their home stint as they face off against Arkansas-Monticello as apart of Hall of Fame day on Saturday when the Rangers will play the Weevils at 3 p.m.
