HAIDAR AND HOJNACKI BOTH PLAY WELL AT LAKE
STATE
Ali
Haidar and Mike
Hojnacki scored 19 and 18 points, respectively, at Lake
Superior State last Saturday (Feb. 12). It was the first time since
Dec. 18 that both players were over 15 points. They had both been
over 15 points in the same game seven times in the first 10
contests of the season-all wins. In games where only one or neither
player reaches 15 points, the Huskies are 4-10.
FOWLER CONTINUES EFFICIENCY
Don
Fowler tallied six assists with zero turnovers at LSSU. His
assist-to-turnover ratio is a league-leading 2.8, which is 10th
best in the nation. The 6-2 guard is looking to become the first
Husky with 100 assists in a season since Jason Marcotte (118 in
2003-04). Fowler currently has 93 assists on the year.
70 IS THE MAGIC NUMBER
Michigan Tech posted 78 points in a win at Lake Superior State last
Saturday to improve to 11-0 when reaching the 70-point mark. Seven
times in the previous nine games the Huskies failed to score 70 and
were 0-7 in those contest. Tech is 1-10 when scoring 69 points or
fewer.
HUSKY BITES
Tech leads the GLIAC and ranks third in the NCAA in 3-point field
goal percentage at 41.8 … The Huskies win at Lake Superior
State last Saturday was their first road win since Dec. 18 …
Tech has four games left on its 2010-11 regular season schedule-two
at home and two on the road. The four opponents are currently a
combined 37-53.
CULY'S 63 TREYS MOST SINCE 2004-05
Alex
Culy has buried 63-of-139 3-point attempts this season for a
45.3 percent clip-third best in the GLIAC and eighth best in the
nation. The 6-2 guard's 63 made triples are the most since Jason
Marcotte hit 78 in 2004-05.
SERIES HISTORY
Michigan Tech leads the all-time series with Ashland 13-7, having
won three of the last four contests. The Huskies are 7-2 vs. the
Eagles in games played at the SDC Gym. Tech has never faced Lake
Erie in men's basketball.
HEAD COACH KEVIN LUKE
Kevin
Luke is in his 17th year on the Michigan Tech bench as head
coach. The school's winningest skipper owns a career record of
295-188 (.611 winning percentage). He is a four-time GLIAC Coach of
the Year and was the 2002-03 NABC National Coach of the Year.
