The Mustangs are now 1-5 in the new year, with their lone victory coming on Jan. 14 when they earned a 101-93 win over Brock in St. Catharines. Last time out, the men dropped an 89-73 decision to the No. 6 CIS-ranked Laurier Golden Hawks at Alumni Hall last Saturday (Jan. 21). At 4-10, the Mustangs are tied at the bottom of the OUA West with the Waterloo Warriors, the team they'll face Wednesday night. Since going 4-1 to start the season, the Warriors have lost nine in a row, including their most recent outing -- an 80-68 loss to Guelph on Saturday.
The Mustangs enter Wednesday's game shooting 44.2% overall on the season, and 35.8% from three-point range. The Warriors, meanwhile, are at 42.5% overall and 37.4% from beyond the arc, which ranks 9th in the CIS. Both teams make a lot of three-pointers, with Western coming in at No. 7 and Waterloo No. 8 in makes per game. But the Warriors have been more efficient in that area. During last Saturday's loss to Laurier, the Mustangs struggled from beyond the arc for the second straight game, making just 5-of-23 in the contest. Ryan Barbeau had three of those treys, and he remains the OUA's scoring leader at 20.6 ppg.
