Lumberjacks Statistical Analysis
The Lumberjacks remain one of the hottest in the country when it comes to turnovers per game, now standing with 20.14. That number is good enough to put them first in the WAC conference and fifth in the nation. AJ Cajuste leads the 'Jacks with 25 steals so far this season, which puts him second best of number of steals in the conference.
Sadaidriene Hall's back-to-back double-doubles have now put him in the conversation as one of the best in the country in terms of field goal percentage. He now sits at 62.3% from the field which puts him at first in the conference and 22nd overall in the nation. Hall is also seven rebounds away from hitting the century mark on total number of rebounds on the season.
Nana Antwi-Boasiako is quietly having a very dominant season from inside the paint. Along with leading the team with 14 blocks on the defensive side, Nana has made 42 buckets on 66 attempts from the field (63.6%). He's also got the second most total rebounds on the team with 82.
A Look at the Mavericks
The Mavericks stand at a 5-9 overall record and a 0-1 conference record, losing their first WAC game at Tarleton 70-63 this past Thursday. They look to return to their home court advantage where they are 3-2 on their home turf.
Their strong suit is their offensive rebounds, where they rank second in the conference and fifth in the nation in offensive rebounds per game, currently with 14.36.
Star player, 6'9 Sophomore Shemar Wilson heavily contributes to the Mavericks rebound game with 111 total rebounds, averaging 7.9 rebounds per game. Wilson ranks first in the conference with 3.24 offensive rebounds per game. He also leads the Mavericks in multiple statistical categories including: field goal percentage (48.4%), free-throw percentage [minimum 20 attempts] (70.8%), blocks (15), and points per game (9.8).
SFA vs UTA History
It's was February 15, 2012 the last time the Lumberjacks and Mavericks battled on the court and on that date, the Mavericks took the win in a very close defensive battle, 51-47.
Dating all the way back to December of 1986, the 'Jacks have fallen behind to the Mavericks 18-24 on head-to-head matchups.
The Lumberjacks look to find their groove on the road as Stephen F. Austin has a 4-15 record on the Mavericks home court and have lost seven out of their last eight games in Arlington.
The 'Jacks have a chance to bring their conference play record against the Mavericks up to .500 this week as they currently stand at 5-6.
Last SFA Match: Lumberjacks Defeat Abilene Christian as Hall Records Second Consecutive Double-Double
Stephen F. Austin defeated Abilene Christian 75-68 in the 'Jacks first WAC conference game of the season. The Lumberjacks improve to 9-5 (1-0) and the Wildcats fall to 8-6 (0-1).
Sophomore Sadaidriene Hall is catching fire at the right time for the Lumberjacks as he recorded his second straight double-double, 18 points and 11 rebounds, leading the 'Jacks to the victory on the Wildcats. The Lumberjacks played a strong defensive first half, only allowing 27 points and forcing nine turnovers, seven of those turnovers being steals. What seemed to be a very comfortable 12 point lead at halftime quickly went away as the Wildcats came out of the half with a nine-point run to make it a close ballgame once again. However, the Lumberjacks were able to answer back and keep the Wildcats from taking the lead away from them for the rest of the game. The next time the 'Jacks and Wildcats face off will be in Abilene on February 22nd.
Hall's double-double led the team in points and rebounds, and he also led the team with three blocks and four assists. Nigel Hawkins followed right behind with 15 points of his own. Nana Antwi-Boasiako had a near perfect night on the field making six of seven attempts, dropping 14 points. AJ Cajuste recorded his seventh straight double-digit point game and went 6-6 on the free throw line.
The Lumberjacks led in the following statistical categories: field goal percentage (47.4-45.9), free-throw percentage (68.0-54.5), second chance points (12-11), points in the paint (42-40), and fast break points (10-9).
