A pair of offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Mustangs are stumbling into the game with the 47th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 66.8 on average. Weber States have had an even harder time: they are 31st worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 65.8 on average.
