WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Scouting Monmouth: Monmouth has lost six straight to Quinnipiac, including an NEC quarterfinal matchup in 2010. MU’s last win came in the series was Jan. 2, 2010. The Hawks have lost three straight games overall, all by at least 14 points and have fallen into 10th in the conference. They are 2-10 on the road. Scoring leader Andrew Nicholas is questionable with a heel injury. Jesse Steele is coming off a career high 27 points vs. Bryant last time out.
Scouting Quinnipiac: The Bobcats got an important win at Wagner last time out to move into a tie for seventh place in the NEC standings. Ousmane Drame had a stellar two-game road trip scoring 32 points and grabbing 30 rebounds coming off the bench. The Bobcats are 4-6 at home but have won their past two games at Hamden. Quinnipiac went 36 for 44 from the free-throw line in their win at Wagner. The Bobcats were last in the NEC rankings from the line prior to that performance.
