Stats: https://easternshorehawks.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats/2022/pdf
Statistically UMES is led by 6’3” Kevon Voyles (11.0 ppg & 4.3 reb), 6’3” Zion Styles (11.6 ppg & 3.4 reb), 6’5” Da’Shawn Phillip (11.0 ppg), 6’5” Nathaniel Pollard (8.5 ppg & 7.4 reb), 6’3” Chace Davis (7.1 ppg), 6’1” Fofana Ahamadou (7.8 ppg), and 6’7” Kohen Thompson (3.0 ppg).
UMES averages 63.0 points per game while giving up 68.3. That stat is deceiving given their blowout win against D3 Bryn Athyn. Factor the D3 blowout out of the equation and the they average 59.1 while giving up 71.8. Another interesting note is that Bryn Athyn listed the game against UMES as an “exhibition” while for UMES it was “Homecoming.”
The Hawks are shooting 40.0% from the floor and 32.7% from 3. Opponents are shooting 44.0% from the field and 31.8% from 3. They shoot 70.2% from the free throw line. The Hawks are being out rebounding by their opponents by 2.5 boards per game and average 13.9 turnovers per game.
The game is on ESPN+.
My prediction: They have no one who should be able to hurt us. Why is a game like this even on the schedule? Win and it’s a meaningless win. A loss to a team like this would be an epic failure to a team with NCAA aspirations. Nothing to gain and everything to lose. That being said this game should be a blowout. Anything less than a double digit win will be a disappointment. Mason 75 - UMES 53.
