Macon, Ga. -- Kennesaw State and ETSU renew a budding rivalry in the
CSS/A-Sun Game of the Week on Friday night. In their first year as conference
rivals, the teams split a pair of hotly contested games last season. Tip-off
is slated for 7:30 pm. Matt Stewart and Sonny Smith will be on hand to give
play-by-play and color analysis for the regionally televised game.
Riding an improved pressure defense, ETSU has sole posession of the top spot
in the Atlantic Sun standings thanks to their fifth straight win over Jacksonville.
At 13-7 overall, 7-1 in A-Sun play, ETSU is off to its best start in conference
play since the 2003-2004 season. Senior post Brad Nuckles enjoyed his third
straight double-double to help lead the Bucs back atop the standings.
Winners of their last three outings, the Owls have a potentially electrifying
offense led by forward Shuan Stegall and his 16.6 points per game. Stegall delivered
a double-double and Ronell Wooten scored a game-high 17 points to lead Kennesaw
State to a 77-57 drubbing of North Florida last Monday.
Don't forget to catch the pre-game action as Stewart and Smith host This
Week in the Atlantic Sun, the league's 30-minute magazine show.
