Points Difference Binghamton Maine (2.6) Stony Brook Vermont UMass Lowell Binghamton UAlbany UMBC Dartmouth Making It Tough To Score UMass Lowell entered the Jan. 15 matchup averaging 77.1 points per game on a.457 field goal percentage, but was limited by the Wildcats to 62 points on 38.8% shooting, including 2 of 15 on 3-pointers.

In 22 games, the Wildcats have 257 assists on 518 field goals (49.6%). In comparison, the opponents have 200 assists on 500 FGs (40.0%). Start Me Up UNH used its 11th starting lineup of the season last Saturday at Binghamton, and that different starting five stopped a season-long stretch of five consecutive games with the same lineup. There was just one change in the quintet, as guard Josh Hopkins returned to the starting lineup in place of forward Jacoby Armstrong. Hopkins was joined in the backcourt by Darryl Stewart and John Ogwuche; Iba

5 Camara and Tanner Leissner were in the frontcourt. The Wildcats have used a big starting lineup (three forwards, two guards) 12 times, including a stretch of nine consecutive games spanning Dec. 22 to Jan. 24. One For The Road UNH traveled to UMass Lowell (Jan. 15) with zero road wins this season, but that changed at game s end with the Wildcats recording a win at Tsongas Center. The Cats recorded their second road win 12 days later at Binghamton (57-52). UNH is 2-7 in road games and 0-2 in neutral-site games for a total of 2-9 away from Lundholm Gym. Letting the Offense Come to Him Sophomore guard John Ogwuche has emerged as an offensive weapon with four double-digit scoring performances the past six games; in comparison, Ogwuche scored in double figures once the first 16 games of the season. Last Thursday at Maine, he made 6 of 11 field goals, including 3 of 7 3-pointers, and was 4-for-5 from the foul line to score a career-high 19 points. This recent hot stretch began with an 11-point effort vs. Binghamton (Jan. 10) and continued Jan. 15 with 15 points (which matched his personal best at the time) at UMass Lowell, where he was a perfect 3-for-3 from 3-point range; all of those 3 s came during UNH s game-opening 23-4 run. Ogwuche followed that with 17 points vs. Vermont (Jan. 18). He made 5 of 11 FGs, including 2 of 5 3-pointers, and all five three throws; the five FTs matched a career high. He did not score in double digits vs. Stony Brook, but did shoot 50% from the floor (3-6) and made both free throw attempts for a total of nine points. Double Double-Doubles Iba Camara and Tanner Leissner recorded a double-double in the same game for the second time this season in the Jan. 10 win against Binghamton. Camara finished with 14 points and game-high 16 rebounds while Leissner scored a team-high 20 points with 11 rebounds. Both senior forwards also tallied a double-double Dec. 2 against Bryant. In their career, the duo has recorded a double-double in the same game three times; the first time it happened was Dec. 18, 2016 at Boston U. Two Cats have recorded a double-double in the same game three times overall this season. Leissner and Jacoby Armstrong did that against Lyndon State (Dec. 16). Defensive Lockdown John Ogwuche was given the primary assignment of guarding Binghamton leading scorer J.C. Show on Jan. 10, and Ogwuche helped limit him to 12 points on 5-for-13 shooting (38.5%), including 2-for-6 from 3-point range. At the other end of the court, Ogwuche recorded 11 points (4-9 FGs and 2-2 FTs) and two assists. Ogwuche had the same defensive assignment in the Jan. 27 rematch at the Events Center, and Show was held to seven points (3-7 FGs) in 33 minutes. Topping 20 Tanner Leissner has scored 20 or more points 10 times in 22 games and has UNH s top six single-game point totals this season. The rest of the Wildcats have a total of two 20+ point performances Jacoby Armstrong with 21 vs. Dartmouth (Dec. 30) and Iba Camara with 20 vs. American (Nov. 21). Leissner has scored 20+ times 34 times as a Wildcat; he did that 12 times as a junior and 11 as a sophomore, as well as once as a freshman. Double Digit Freebies Tanner Leissner made 13 of 14 free throws against Binghamton (Jan. 10) to match his season high of makes, which he established Nov. 21 vs. American University. Leissner has made 10+ foul shots four times, including 12 at Fairfield University (Dec. 22) and 10 vs. Dartmouth (Dec. 30). No other Wildcat has made 10+ free throws in a game this season; Luke Rosinski was 8-13 vs. Lyndon State and Iba Camara was 8-10 against American to mark the only two times any other Cat had double digits in free throw attempts. Leissner has attempted double digits in free throws seven times. Crashing the Glass Iba Camara has recorded double digits in rebounds 14 of 22 games, including five of the last eight and 7 of 11. Camara matched his career high of 20 rebounds last Saturday at Binghamton, a mark he established as a freshman. Also of note, he pulled down 17 boards against both Utah State (Nov. 25) and UMass Lowell (Jan. 15); that game at UMass Lowell was the last of four consecutive double-digit rebounds games; he had 16 rebounds the previous game vs. Binghamton. Camara averaged 18.0 rebounds per game against the Bearcats this season.

New Hampshire went a stretch of 11 consecutive games with either the rebounding edge (nine times) or an even rebound total (twice). That streak ended Jan. 24 at Maine, which finished with the edge on the glass; the previous team to get the better of the Wildcats on the glass was Niagara University (37-30 on Dec. 5). Consistent Producers Tanner Leissner has been the team s top scorer 16 of 22 games; his stretch of seven consecutive games as the leading point scorer ended Jan. 18 vs. Vermont, when John Ogwuche netted 17 points (Leissner finished with 14). In the next two games, Iba Camara had a team-high 12 vs. Stony Brook (Leissner- 11) and Ogwuche scored a career-high 19 points at Maine (Leissner- 18).
