Scouting The Bears (Game Notes) (Big Sky Notes)
- For the first time since the 2009-10 season the Bears picked up a key non-conference win over Colorado State, 73-64. It's the first time under head coach B.J. Hill that UNC has downed CSU.
- Northern Colorado currently has five players averaging in double-figures in scoring.
- After sitting out a full year due to NCAA transfer rules, Anglin finally got to suit up and play against Colorado State. Anglin quieted all skeptics in his 19-point performance, including scoring 16 in the first half.
- Wilson had his second game of the season with 20 points or more in the win over CSU. Through nine games, Wilson has scored at least 10 points or more in every contest.
- UNC currently shoots 38.6% on three-pointers, climbing them up the national rankings to 63rd in the NCAA.
- This is the second Summit League team this season that the Bears have faced. UNC lost earlier in the year to Nebraska-Omaha and is 138-215 all-time against Summit League opponents and currently 0-4 against the conference under Hill.
Scouting the Pioneers (Game Notes)
- The Pios have had a solid start to their season, boasting a 7-3 overall record, including a run of five straight wins from Nov. 8 to the 28th. DU is coming off back-to-back wins over San Diego and fellow Big Sky opponent, Weber State.

Welcome Dallas Anglin
- No one was sure what to expect from junior guard, Dallas Anglin in his debut with the Bears. After sitting out a full year due to NCAA transfer rules, Anglin finally got to suit up and play against Colorado State.
- Anglin quieted all skeptics in his 19-point performance, including scoring 16 in the first half. Anglin was near perfect from the floor in the first 20 minutes, shooting 5-of-7 from the field, including 3-of-3 from beyond the arc. The junior also finished 4-of-4 from the free throw line in the win.
- Northern Colorado is Anglin's fourth school in as many years. The redshirt junior, began at Hofstra, had a stint at College of Southern Idaho, and then went on to Southern Miss before coming to UNC.
- At College of Southern Idaho. In just one season, he helped the Golden Eagles to a 27-5 overall record and a berth in the Region 18 championship game, averaging 13.4 points, 3.9 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals along the way.

- Wilson is the second active leading scorer on the team, averaging 15.0 ppg and lead the team in assists, with 3.4 apg.
- The junior is currently climbing the ranks of the Division I Top 10 list in assists (ranks 5th with 174) and Scoring Average (averaging 8.8 points in his career).
