How to watch
Tip-off is 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+, with Nolan Alexander, Jordan Griffitt and Carolyne Harris on the call. Live stats are available through StatBroadcast via ksuowls.com.
Owls bring a defensive edge
The defending Conference USA champions opened with a 116-57 rout of Midway, then dug out of an 18-point first-half hole to beat Austin Peay 71-69 on Friday. Catch up on that comeback in our Kennesaw State vs. Austin Peay recap.
Through two games, Kennesaw State has held opponents to 32.5% shooting and leads CUSA in both field-goal percentage defense and rebounding margin at +26.0 per game. Last season the Owls went 13-3 at home on the way to a 21-14 record.
Scouting Winthrop
The Eagles went 23-11 a year ago but arrive still looking for their first win after a 93-90 loss to North Dakota, a game in which Spence Sims scored 25 points. Winthrop averaged 83.6 points per game last season, so expect a quick pace.
