Not if NJIT plays a zone defense! It will be closer than that. I'm sorry. Couldn't resist. 🥴 That loss still leaves me grimacing.

Their budget isn't for sports. But I hope no zone.

The Highlanders are a wreck of a team. Kenpom.com has them as #331 of 363 D1 teams nationally. Their offensive efficiency is #344, leading them to average only 60.2 ppg. The Highlanders are absolute bricklayers at the line (59.5%). Per barttorvik.com, NJIT are #18 in getting to the line. They just don't make very many.

Cats roll, 85-52.

FUN FACT:

Diakite from Bamako, Mali -- hometown of Mamoudou Diarra; seems like a bit of an NCAA Division I basketball factory

According to this page, 70 kids from Mali have played college ball, the majority from Bamako. Including THREE on La Salle, who UC hosts in mid-December.

Bamako is, by far, the largest city in Mali (1.3M of total population of 21M). The next largest city has a bit over 150K residents. So, it's not surprising that the bulk of Malian players would come from Bamako.
