• Chris Clemons ranks 5th among Big South scoring leaders (17.2) and tops all league freshmen in the category.  He leads the league in FT% (.885) and is the nation's 6th-leading freshman scorer.
• Pre-season All-Big South Conference center D.J. Mason leads the Big South in  rebounding (8.1) and is averaging 11.5 points while shooting 51% from the field.  He hit career highs with 24 points and 15 rebounds vs. Presbyterian.
