Game Notes: Jacksonville State | Kennesaw State
JACKSONVILLE – Jacksonville State's men's basketball team hits the road for a big ASUN Conference weekend at Kennesaw State and Liberty.
Â
The Gamecocks (13-6, 6-0 ASUN) recently matched their program's Division I record for most consecutive wins at eight, and in the process, tied the best conference start at 6-0 with a 65-60 victory over Bellarmine on Monday night. JSU will look to set new records for both on Thursday evening when the visit Kennesaw State (9-9, 4-1 ASUN).
Â
Although separated by only 90 miles, JSU and the Owls have only met once previously in 2007 when KSU was victorious at home, 80-74. This marks the first conference clash between the two teams, as JSU begins a five-game tour through the ASUN's east division.
Â
Jax State was paced offensively in their last outing by senior Kayne Henry, who registered a career-high 24 points against the Knights to become the sixth Gamecock this season to post a 20-point game. JSU has found strength this season in opposing defenses not being able to key in on any one individual. Senior Darian Adams leads the Gamecocks averaging 14.6 points per game, but in flanked by two of the top three-point shooters in the nation in Jalen Gibbs and Demaree King. Inside, senior Brandon Huffman is shooting 63-percent from the field and up to 69-percent during JSU's 8-game win streak.
