About the Chargers
3 IS KEY: The Chargers have shot better than 40 percent from 3-point land in four of its games thus far this season and owns a 3-1 mark in those contests. In the team's two other games, UAH has hit only 30.4 percent and 27.3 percent of its attempts from downtown. Ronnie Mack leads the team with 17 successful 3-pointers, though history suggests that his 38.6 shooting percentage from beyond the arc will improve as he is a 42.2 percent shooter for his career.
Â
HALFWAY THERE: Both Ronnie Mack and Wayne Dedrick have moved past 500 points for their career this season. Mack owns 586 points early on in his junior campaign, while Dedrick has had a blazing start to his tenure in Huntsville as he has 515 at this stage of his sophomore season. The pair will look to become the 23rd and 24th players in UAH history to join the 1,000 point club.
Â
AROUND THE GSC: With conference play just on the horizon, UAH is one of eight league teams to have at least two losses thus far. Only Valdosta State (6-0), Delta State (6-1), and West Georgia (5-1) have managed to avoid picking up multiple losses. The Chargers sit in the middle of the league in the official statistics (teams not eligible for the postseason – Shorter, Union, and Lee – are not included), ranking fourth in scoring offense and scoring defense.
