Jav a look at SNU
Southern Nazarene played Texas A&M International and this game was an offensive battle from wire to wire. The Crimson Storm were led by Nessa Begay, a redshirt junior from Norman, she accounted for 20 points, 15 Rebounds and added 7 assists on the day. In every metric of the day these two teams were nearly identical from top to bottom. TAMIU shot 47% from the field and normally that would be a recipe for success, but the Crimson Storm were unguardable as they shot 55% on the day.
 
The Crimson Storm was even with the Dustdevils in many categories, but when it came to points in the paint they were dominate, as they racked up 58 of their 89 points in that area. This game ended as SNU took the win 89-83, they are willing and wanting to push the pace and make their opponents outscore them. The Javelinas will have their work cut out on defense trying to hold SNU.
 
The Javelinas will have to be able to run the court and force SNU into shots they do not want to take. Turnovers will play a major part, but the main key for the game will be the points on the paint. Both teams dominated their respective games in this area, it will come down to who can push the ball, get inside, and shoot well will come out on top.
