All-Americans TreVion Crews (Bethel) and Brandon Durnell (Spring Arbor) are set to lead their teams into battle in an early evening Crossroads League matchup. Spring Arbor has won two in a row heading into this one, while Bethel is coming off of their first loss of the season. The Crossroads League is always so tough, and this should be a great game. Clarke vs Cardinal Stritch 7:00pm CT Live Video
This is a neutral court game being played at Viterbo. Clarke, dropped an unexpected one to Viterbo last night and will be looking to bounce back tonight. Oddly enough, Cardinal Stritch is 0-1 on the season with their only loss being to Viterbo as well. Both teams are needing a win!
Bethel (KS) @ Tabor 7:30pm CT Live Video Bethel, yes we have many in the NAIA, sits at 2-2 in the KCAC, while Tabor is 1-1. Road trips in the KCAC aren’t easy, and this Tabor team is playing well to start the season. This would be a really good win moving forward for both teams. Expect this one to be a close game throughout.
Five Players To Watch
Ajdin Toskic 6’5 W Dickenson State – 18.67ppg/5.7rpg
Ajdin has had a bit of a coming out party to start the season. Last year he only averaged about 7 points per game, while this year, under a new coaching staff, Ajdin has really shined, including a 22pt, 8reb game against Briar Cliff earlier this season.ย
Nashom Carter 5’11 G Tabor – 19.75ppg/4.25rpg/4apg
The do it all guard has been a big reason for the early season turnaround for Tabor. Carter is a transfer from San Diego City Junior College, and has already made an impact for the Bluejays.ย
Keith Johnson 6’3 G Clarke – 9ppg/2rpg
Because of Covid, Clarke played their first game of the season last night. Johnson is going to have to fill the shoes of All-American Darius Lasley, who was a stud for the Pride last season. Johnson is capable of going off on any night and after a bit of a slow start last night, look for him to pick things up tonight.ย
We have mentioned both of these guys before as players to watch, but it is worth stating again, Brandon Durnell (Spring Arbor) and TreVion Crews (Bethel, IN) square off tonight! While the All-Americans play different positions, they are both guys who the offense will go through. Not only will this game be a fun one, but watching these two make play, after play, after play will also be something to watch!ย
