THE BLUE DEVILS IN 2018-19

• In Stout's first nine games of the season, the team scored more 75 points or more in eight of the games, being held to less than 75 points in a 65-56 win over Finlandia, Dec. 14.  Stout is averaging 83.4 points per game and giving up 80.7.
• After missing all except two minutes of last season due to injury, John Keefe eased into the first games of the season, but has been on a tear since then. Keefe scored 12 and 7 points, respectively in the first two games, but since then has scored at least 19 point in following seven and has scored in the 30s in three games. Keefe is averaging a conference-leading 23.4 points per game. Keefe leads the WIAC in 3-pointers made with 3.56 per outing. Keefe hit a career-best 33 points in an overtime loss to McMurry University. Keefe currently has 1084 career points, and is 17th on the UW-Stout all-time scoring list.  Keefe missed the Blue Devils' win over Northland College due to illness. 
• Zach Dahl overcame a cold start to the season from the floor. The senior captain did not hit a shot from the floor in the first two games, scoring only two points from the free throw line, which may have been an early season precursor. But Dahl has steadily increased his scoring totals and is now averaging 8.2 points per game and is among the team leaders in rebounds, averaging 3.8 per game. Back at the free throw line, Dahl has been steady, hitting 23 of 26 attempts (.885), sixth in the WIAC. 
• Sophomore captain Jon Ciriacks played the first two games of the season, then missed the next five games before returning against Crown College, Dec. 7. Now after four games, Ciriacks is averaging 15.8 points and 8.4 rebounds. Players need to have played in 75 percent of the team's games to be eligible to appear in the WIAC stats listing. With his current numbers, Ciriacks would be listed among the top 10 in both categories. During his freshman season, Ciriacks averaged 4.2 points and 2.2 rebounds. 
• Sophomore Luke Geiger exceeded his entire freshman season scoring totals during the Blue Devils' season-opening overtime win over Lawrence. Geiger last season had 11 points for the entire season, but finished the game with 15 points. Geiger is currently third on the team in scoring, averaging 12.2 points. Geiger seven times this season has scored in double digits, and has 110 total points. Geiger scored a career-best 21 points against Northland College.
• Sophomore transfer Brandon Gilbertson has earned starts in five games and is averaging 5.2 points. He had a season-best 10 points against McMurry in his first start.
• Junior transfer Kyle Williams has come off the bench to average 5.9 points, but has made his mark early with steals, recording seven against Bethany Lutheran, and now has 16 steals, averaging 1.8  per contest to rank fifth in the WIAC. With 32 assists, good for fifth in the WIAC, Williams is second in the league in assist to turnover ratio. Williams, who comes off the bench, currently has a team-best 32 assists to seven turnovers for a ratio of 4.57, ranking sixth nationally. Williams 4.4 rebounds ranks 14th in the WIAC. 
• The 96 points scored against Silver Lake is the most since scoring scoring 109 against Crown College in February, 2011. Stout scored 94 against Silver Lake College last December.

The Blue Devils' leading scorer from the 2016-17 season made it less than two minutes into last season when he was injured in the season opener and was lost for the entire season. Keefe was injured when he laid in his only basket of the season. During the 2016-17 season, Keefe scored in double figures in 19 of 26 games, and scored a career-high 32 against former WIAC foe UW-Superior in November. Keefe dished off at least two assists in every game and had four or more assists in 16 games. Keefe led Stout in all major categories, including points per game (15.0), rebounds/game (6.2), assists/game (4.6), steals/game (1.5), and minutes/game (35.5).

In addition, Keefe had top six statistical finishes in the conference in free throw percentage (.828, 6th), 3-point field goals made (2.15, 5th) and assist/turnover ratio (2.38, 2nd).

BLUE DEVILS LAST TIME OUT

• With two key players not suited up, UW-Stout found other ways to win in an 85-76 win over Northland College Friday, Dec. 21, on Dewey Mintz Court in Johnson Fieldhouse. With the conference's leading scorer, John Keefe, and the Blue Devils' assists leader, Kyle Williams, out for the night, Stout (6-4) had to overcome some first half adversity to gut out a win over the pesky Lumberjacks. Jon Ciriacks led Stout with a career-best 25 points, scoring 14 points in the second half. Luke Geigerscored a career-high 21 points, 16 in the second half. Both players were 8 of 8 from free throw range. Josh Mericle scored 10 points, one short of a career best. | Game Story and Statistics

Stout won an 84-65 win over Finlandia in early November at the UW-Superior tournament. Finlandia tied the score at 53 with about five minutes left to go in the contest, but the Blue Devils finished off the game on a 16-3 run as Keefe scored 10 points during that final run. Keefe finished with a game-high 27 points, the sixth time this season he has scored 20 or more points.

THE WOLVES THE LAST TIME OUT

• St. Francis men's basketball team could not overcome Cardinal Stritch University's strong shooting performance led to an 89-71 conference win Dec. 19. The Wolves did most of their damage down low, scoring 56 points in the paint on their way to knocking down 62 percent of their shot attempts. Quaderrick Shaw paced Stritch with 20 points while Frederik Benzon approached triple-double territory (19 points, nine assists, eight rebounds). St. Francis came out of the gates hot, hitting six of its first seven shots to jump ahead 14-8. The Wolves scored the next seven points to grab a lead and held a 41-35 edge at the break. Cardinal Stritch then capitalized on USF's slow start to the second half, jumping ahead by 16 early in the period on its way to claiming the victory. Niko Travica (15 points), Carlos Knox (12) and Nemanja Knezevic (10) also scored in double figures for Stritch. | Game Story and Statistics | Cardinal Stritch Story
• After their 67-64 upset over the Lakers of Roosevelt University on Dec. 8 the Cardinal Stritch University Wolves were unable to topple the Jaguars of Governors State University falling 81-76.

THE LUMBERJACKS THE LAST TIME OUT

• The 'Jacks lost at North Dakota State University, Wednesday, 90-43, in an exhibition game. North Dakota State never trailed in the game and led by as many as 49 points. The Bison posted a commanding 49-28 rebounding advantage. The Bison bolted out to an 18-4 lead five minutes into the contest, and pushed the margin to 51-16 at halftime. Ben Arqueros scored 13 to lead Northland. Modesta Britten finished with 10 points. 
• The Lumberjacks lost a conference contest, 70-63, to Bethany Lutheran College, Dec. 15. The Jacks fell behind early to start the first half, as the Vikings would start the game on a 7-2 run. However, it didn't take the Jacks long to find their offensive rhythm as they quickly took the lead with a 10-0 run of their own. The Vikings came back to tie it up, but the Jacks again regained the lead. The Jacks continued to hit their shots and built their lead to ten over the Vikings. The Jacks went into halftime with a 35-28 lead intact. The Vikings struck first to start the second half, eventually getting to within one of the Jacks. The teams would trade leads multiple times throughout the second half, as they would trade shots with one another. The Jacks started to pull away with a 53-47 lead over the Vikings, but the Vikings would rally back and tie it up at 58-58. A four point play by the Vikings with under a minute remaining in the game would give them a lead that they wouldn't lose.  Modesta Britten led the Jacks with 19 points, while Brandon Galland recorded 17. Britten led the team with 5 rebounds, while Ben Arqueros Jr. and Hunter Moe each grabbed 4.

THE LAST TIME STOUT AND NORTHLAND MET

• Stout jumped out to an insurmountable halftime lead, and coasted to an 81-42 victory over Northland College, Nov. 24, 2012, in their first game of the Quality Inn & Suites Turkey Shootout hosted at Johnson Fieldhouse. Northland's locker room could not have been a pretty site at halftime, as they faced a 58-12 deficit after shooting 14 percent in the first half. Stout, on the other hand, was enjoying their largest halftime lead in over 15 years after shooting 64 percent from the field. Jarvis Ragland was a huge contributor to the first half explosion, scoring six of Stout's first eight points, and had a game-high 13 points at the break. He got things going early when he posterized Northland's Dillon Riehle by throwing down a slam dunk while absorbing a foul from Riehle on the play. Aaron Jenny added a few buckets and before they knew it, the Blue Devils had a 16-0 lead. | Game Story and Statistics
