- The Bears went 0-2 last season against Weber State.
Scouting Weber State (Game Notes)
- The Wildcats dropped its first game of the Big Sky season on Thursday night, falling at North Dakota 83-77. On the year, WSU holds a 9-7 record and are 4-1 in the league.
- Senior guard, Jeremy Senglin leads Weber State on the offensive end, averaging 20.5 points per game. That percentage ranks him third in the conference and 30th in the nation. Senglin is also the best three-point shooter in the NCAA (Division I) in terms of 3FG made per game, averaging 4.31.
- As a team, the Wildcats rank 4th in the country in 3FG percentage, averaging 41.8% on the year. On the other end of the court, WSU is holding opponents to a Big Sky-leading, 70.1 points per game.

Bears' Last Time Out
- Northern Colorado wasn't able to hold on down the stretch against Idaho State falling to the Bengals 73-69 on Thursday night.
- It was a case of live and die by the three for UNC. The Bears were an impressive 11-of-22 (50%) in the first half, but converted just 2-of-13 (15%) in the second, as they were held to just 26 points in the last 20 minutes of the ball game.
- After a UNC turnover, Idaho State's Ethan Telfair drove the lane and got the fade away lay-in to fall, tilting the scoreboard in favor of the Bengals, 70-69. With 10 seconds remaining, sophomore guard, Jordan Davis pushed the floor to tie the game and drew contact, giving him a chance to even things up at the line, but his free throws fell short and ISU sealed up its first Big Sky win at the other end.
- Jordan Davis and Chaz Glotta led all scorers in the loss with 19 points. DJ Miles was the other Bear to reach double figures with 11.
- UNC shot just 31% at the free throw line on the night, finishing 6-of-19, including 4-of-13 in the second half.
Shoot 'Em Up
- Redshirt sophomore guard, Chaz Glotta set a new Division I UNC single-game record for three-point field goal attempts on Thursday. Glotta took 21 shot attempts from beyond the arc, cashing in on six of those, finishing with a new career-high 19 points.
- As a team, the Bears finished with 35 attempts from three-point land, just two off the Division I single-game record of 37, which happened against San Jose State in the 2009-10 season.
- UNC has recorded eight games this year where they've tallied 10 or more made three balls.
Against The Wildcats
- Northern Colorado and Weber State gear up for the 21st game in the all-time series on Saturday night, with WSU holding a 15-5 lead in it.
- The Wildcats swept the Bears last year, defeating them at home 64-54 and in Ogden 85-68. The last time Northern Colorado knocked off Weber State came in the 2014-15 season in Greeley, 71-57.
- The Bears and Wildcats are deadlocked at 5-5 in the series in games played at Bank of Colorado Arena.
- WSU and UNC did not meet until 2006-07 when Northern Colorado joined the Big Sky. Weber State took the inaugural game 61-60.
