DAVIS & ELKINS NOTES

• Breland Walton had his way along the low block with 33 points and 14 rebounds last time out. The junior forward ranks sixth in the MEC in scoring average (20.3) and second in rebounding average (11.4).
• Walton's 33 points were tied for the fourth highest single-game total in the MEC this season.
• Gyasi Powell logged the second 20-point game of his freshman season last time out against West Virginia Wesleyan. He will likely play an increased role down the stretch as the Senators continue to battle injury.
• The Senators have not won on the road this season, posting an 0-4 mark away from the McDonnell Center.
• Kyle Leslie tied a season-high 13 points last time out, marking his fifth consecutive start for D&E. Teemu Tumanoff recorded his second-straight game in double digits with a season-high 11 points against the Bobcats.
• Saturday marks the first of three consecutive road matchups for D&E, which will face Alderson Broaddus on Monday, February 15 before taking on Charleston (W.Va.) on Wednesday, February 17

  
SCOUTING CONCORD

• Concord has been stout this season defensively, allowing just 74.0 points/game in the high-scoring Mountain East Conference. The Mountain Lions are third in rebounding defense (34.6), limiting the number of opportunities their opponents have each possession.
• A balanced team with no shortage of options on both sides of the ball, Malik Johnson leads the Mountain Lions with 15.4 points/game. In total, eight players have scoring averages of 7.1 points/game or better.
• Concord trailed 41-28 at the half and could not chip away in a 90-68 loss to 21st-ranked Fairmont State. Johnson dropped 19 points and grabbed seven boards and Mohamed Bundu added 10 points of his own.
• Todd May is in his fifth season at Concord, leading the team to consecutive appearances in the MEC Tournament.

Breland Walton's 33 points last night proved to be among the top performances in the Mountain East Conference so far this season.
