SETTING THE SCENE
UMSL hits the road for the first time this season, traveling to NCAA Division I opponent Indiana State on Saturday night. The Tritons then travel across town to NCAA Division III opponent Webster on Monday night.  

LAST TIME OUT
UMSL is coming off 102-64 win over Robert Morris-Peoria on Tuesday night for its second straight win. The Tritons made just two of their first 13 field goal attempts, but used a 29-8 run over a six-minute span, connecting on 9-of-10 shots from the field, to turn a 9-8 lead into a 38-16 advantage at the 5:09 mark before holding a 52-26 halftime lead. Freshman Kobe Wands and junior Steven Davis each scored 17 points to lead five players in double figures, while senior Hunter Reine followed with 15 points and 13 rebounds.

UMSL is 2-1 overall, with all three games being played at home. Senior Hunter Reine leads the Tritons with 12.3 points and 12.3 rebounds per game, having recorded a double-double in two contests. Reine pulled down a career-best 17 rebounds in the season opener against Ferris State. Only five GLVC players grabbed 17 or more boards last year and his total was the most by a league player since Missouri S&T's Rokas Paulauskas snatched 18 caroms against the Tritons on Feb. 18, 2016.

Junior Steven Davis follows with 11.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game and leads the team with eight three-pointers, while junior D.J. White adds 10.7 points per game, shooting a team-best 55.6 percent from the floor.
