Battlin' Bear Recap
The Rocky men split their weekend set on the road last week, falling to No. 10 ranked Montana Tech before bouncing back to defeat MSU-Northern 77-75. 

Kael Robinson is on a hot streak from the field, averaging 25.5 points per game over his past four games. The junior wing ranks second in the Frontier Conference in scoring this season, averaging 18.0 points per game this season entering the final weekend of the regular season. Robinson is one of just two qualified players in the conference this season to shoot 40% or better from three-point range. 

The Rocky offense shot 50% from the field in the win over MSU-Northern, marking the sixth time they've done so this season. The Battlin' Bears are the second-best scoring offense during Frontier Conference, averaging 77.9 points per game. The Rocky men are also the second-best playmaking team in the Frontier Conference, averaging 13.4 assists per game, led by Jesse Owens' conference-leading 5.5 assists per game in Conference play. Kael Robinson also ranks sixth individually, averaging 2.9 per game. 

Preview
The Battlin' Bears are looking to avoid a season sweep against the Fighting Saints this season, falling in the first two matchups of the season. Carroll enters Thursday's game winning four of their last five games and eight of their last ten. The Fighting Saints are locked into the #2 seed for the upcoming Frontier Conference tournament. 

Andrew Cook is a candidate for the Frontier Conference Player of the Year as the only player to average more than 20 points per game so far this season while shooting over 55% from the field as a guard. Cook has the most made free throws in the Frontier Conference and helps the Fighting Saints lead the conference with over 20 free throw attempts per game this season. Carroll College averages 79.4 points per game this season, a mark the Battlin' Bears have held them under in both meetings this season.
