Game Notes | Live Stats | Live Video


The Starting Five:
1. Cameron will be welcoming approximately 150 soldiers from the 434th Field Artillery Brigade in Fort Sill to the game.
2. Saturday night will be the last chance to donate either a can food item or a gently used coat in exchange for a free Cameron t-shirt.  All items collected will go to food banks and shelters in the local area.
3. Craig Foster has scored in 37 straight games and started in the last 36 for CU; he has also hit double-figure scoring in the last 12 games.
4. At 8.8 rebounds per game this season through nine games Will Cook is CU's top rebounding threat since Kallan Glasgow averaged 8.4 during the 2009-10 season.
5. The Aggies have won their last night in a row in their final home game of the calendar year.

First Tip: Cameron was stunned at home by Northwestern Oklahoma 57-51 in a night of cold shooting and costly mistakes.  In their prior match up against the Rangers, Cameron controlled the second half and won convincingly by 20 points.   The last month has not been kind to the Aggies with five losses out of their last six game including their exhibitions.  The win during this span was not a close game either with Oklahoma Christian nearly sinking a game winning three pointer at the buzzer (77-75).  

Against the Rangers on Wednesday night, Cameron shot a season low 31.8% from the field and was out-rebounded 25 to 35. Additionally, Cameron wasn't able to hit shots from outside to arc with only three buckets coming from downtown.  Craig Foster led all scorers on the floor with 21 points but he was held to no assists for the first time since Nov. 28, 2012 at Texas A&M Kingsville.  This was also the first loss to Northwestern Oklahoma since Jan. 9, 1986.

About Southwestern Adventist: This will be the second meeting between the Knights and Aggies in program history.  Cameron opened their 2012-13 campaign with Southwestern Adventist to a 77-49 win. 

Prior to meeting with Cameron on Saturday night, the Knights will be in Ada, OK for face East Central.  Against comparable opponents this season the Knights lost to Texas A&M International in back-to-back games (122-66 & 137-67) and Tarleton State opened their season to a 111-54 win over SAU.  Cameron played Texas A&M-I earlier this season to a 90-71 loss and will play Tarleton twice during the conference season.

Kevin Squarzon who runs the Knights offence is their top scorer averaging 26.3 points and 6.5 assists per game.  Terry Eichelberg at 6' 8'' is their big man at center, he also averages a lofty 17.8 points per contest. 

A win for Cameron would mean..wrapping up the 2013 with a .500 record and a win at home.

A win for Southwestern Adventist would mean...their first win against Cameron in program history.

Coming Up: Will not a have countable game until Jan. 5, 2014 when they host South Dakota School of Mines.  They will play on New Year's Eve at UT-San Antonio in exhibition play.
