Kuhl’s 23 points vs North Alabama highlighted his efficiency, while Copeland’s perimeter shooting adds balance. Stetson’s efficiency (8.6 made threes per game; Copeland shooting 38.6% from three; 84 points scored vs North Florida) underscores their strengths. Their ability to score efficiently from the perimeter makes them dangerous underdogs.
