Triple Overtime

.- The Griz currently hold an 18-8 advantage over the Bears in the all-time series. Northern Colorado is 4-8 all-time against UM under head coach B.J. Hill.
One More Game
- Junior guard, Jordan Wilson is just one game away from tying the D1 program record for consecutive games in double figures. Wilson sits at 16 games straight with at least 10 points or more. The current record is held by former guard, Will Figures who notched 17 straight games in the 2009-10 season.

- Fellow junior guard, Dallas Anglin has also scored no less than 11 points in all eight games he's played in since becoming eligible, scoring 31 points, a career-high, against Idaho State and 11 points against Weber State in his last two outings.
- Should both streaks continue for the rest of the season, Anglin would finish with 22 games in double figures and Wilson with 30.
Single Season Predictions
- The trio of junior guards, Dallas Anglin, Anthony Johnson and Jordan Wilson all have the chance to crack the Division I single season scoring list.
- Anglin currently sits with 147 points, while Johnson leads the pack with 230 and Wilson with 226 with a little over half of the season remaining.
- Should their scoring averages continue, Anglin would finish with 404, Johnson with 431 and Wilson with 423, ranking them 8th, 4th and 5th, respectively. It would also be the first time since moving to D1 that the team had three players score 400 points in the same season.
