November 24th NAIA Games
Games of the Day:
RV Saint Francis @ Bethel (IN) 7:00pm ET Live Video
Saint Francis (IN) is off to a hot 5-0 (1-0) start to the season. With the new rankings coming out next week, getting a tough road win at Bethel (IN) tonight could help to slide them inside of the Top 25 next week! Bethel is 4-1 with a 1-0 start to Crossroads League play and protecting your home court is important when you want to win a CL regular season title. The Cushingberry vs Crews matchup in this one should be a fun one to watch as well.
MidAmerica Nazarene @ Benedictine 7:30pm CT Live Video
This is a big early season conference game for MidAmerica Nazarene. The Pioneers are already 0-2 in the Heart and head off to play at Benedictine tonight. While Benedictine did lose at home to #4 William Penn, it’s usually a really tough place to play. This Benedictine team is loaded up with experience including the dynamic duo of Eric Cruz and Jaidon Bristol. Should be a fun matchup tonight in the South division of the Heart of America.
RV Northwestern @ 7 Morningside 8:00pm CT Live Video
Both of these teams already have 1 conference loss on the year. Morningside doesn’t lose at home often, but this Northwestern team, when they catch fire, is a tough out. Stud Freshman big man Alex Van Kalsbeek is off to a big time start to the year averaging 20ppg/6.6rpg. He will have his hands full with Morningside Senior Trey Brown inside. Look for this game though to come down to the two All-Americans, Trent Hillbrands (Northwestern) and Zach Imig (Morningside) making the big plays for their teams to win.
Five Players To Watch
Trent Hillbrands 6’0 G Northwestern – 12.5ppg/3.3rpg/3.8apg
Trent is a 2x – NAIA DII All-American. The Senior guard has had a great career, and will look to come up big on the road tonight. He is a do it all guard, who can score when needed, but knows how to also get others open.
Jaidon Bristol 6’0 G Benedictine – 13.4ppg/5.4rpg/5.0apg
While this Benedictine squad is really well balanced, Bristol still remains the teams heart beat. Jaidon has proven in his career that he can score when he is needed, but his best attribute is running the offense and creating scoring advantages for his teammates.
Keiron Goodwin 6’4 G Mayville St – 24.5ppg/10.5rpg
The D2 Transfer has had a great first 2 games to start the season. He’s a big guard who can really score it. Personally, haven’t gotten a chance to watch him yet, but have it on the list for tonight!
Henry Tanksley 6’5 G Peru State 27ppg/4rpg
An Honorable Mention NAIA DI All-American from last season. The guard has only been back playing for the past two games for the Bobcats. While they did drop those two games, the big guard is a tough matchup for anyone. He will face off against a Grand View squad tonight who plays uptempo and will give up a lot of points.
Ryan Batte 6’5 C Thomas More – 26ppg/4.4rpg
Ryan is an undersized big with a gigantic motor. He is a mismatch big who can pull defenders away from the rim and into the midpost, but can also use his strength to score around the rim. He is coming off a very nice Sophomore campaign and is really fun to watch play.
