Flowers Leads the Way
Against McNeese State, junior Michael Flowers led the Broncos with 24 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the field and a perfect 10-of-10 from the free-throw line. It's the 30th time in his career Flowers has scored in double figures and his 13^th 20-point performance.

All-time against Horizon League opponents, WMU is 63-49. Over the past three seasons the Brown & Gold hold a 5-1 records against the league with three of WMU's eight wins a year ago coming against the Horizon League.

Protecting the Ball
With just six turnovers on Wednesday against McNeese State, the Broncos rank second in the NCAA for fewest turnovers this season.
