FINALLY AT HOME
After seven straight road games to open its 2007-08 season, the Michigan Tech men's basketball team will finally get to play a home game. The Huskies played games in four different states to start the season. Tuesday's (Dec. 11) contest will be their latest home opener since the 1968-69 season, when they didn't play at home until January 4. Tech has 19 games left on its regular season schedule, with 11 of those at home and eight on the road.

ALPERS SETS HIGH IN REBOUNDS
Junior Kris Alpers shattered his career high in rebounds with 13 at Northern Michigan last Saturday (Dec. 8). His previous career best was eight. The 6-9 center averages 11.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. He also ranks in the GLIAC top 10 in field goal percentage at 58.7.

FRESHMEN STRONG AT NORTHERN
Freshmen Don Fowler and Mike Szatko both had solid games at Northern Michigan last Saturday (Dec. 8). Fowler registered his second straight game in double figures with 10 points. He also had four rebounds and no turnovers in 37 minutes of action. Szatko's appearance at NMU was just the second game of his career, but he made the most of it by draining two 3-pointers in eight minutes of action. The two triples were the first two field goal attempts of the 6-4 forward's career.
