Randall’s 25 points vs Mount St. Mary’s highlighted his efficiency, while McKnight and Monroe add balance. Their three-point shooting (35.8%, 112th nationally) and field goal attempts (64.1 per game, 63rd nationally) underscore offensive strength.

Their 3-3 home record underscores balance, though overall inconsistency (5-12 record) remains a concern.

Key Matchup / Path to Victory
