Scouting the Broncos
With two games remaining in the regular season Western Michigan has an overall record of 8-21, 2-14 in conference play. The Broncos will be the No.12 seed in the MAC Tournament with first round action set to begin on Monday, March 11. WMU is coming off a 60-58 loss last Saturday at home to Ball State.

20/20 Vision for Dugan
Senior Seth Dugan against Ball State registered 20 points and 20 rebounds for his 14th double-double of the season. It's the second time Dugan has had at least 20 points and 20 rebounds and is one of just three players in the NCAA to have multiple games doing so.

Dugan Inching Closer to Double-Double Record
With 14 double-doubles on the year, Dugan has the second most double-doubles in a season in school history. Dugan matched Shayne Whittington's mark of 14 set back in 2013-14. The Otsego, Mich., native is just three double-doubles away from breaking WMU's single-season record set by Booker James (16) back in 1986-87.

1,000 Getting Closer and Closer
Seth Dugan is just 67 points away from eclipsing the 1,000-point mark for his career. With three guaranteed games left the senior center needs to average 22.3 points per game.

Flowers Climbing the Ranks
Sophomore Michael Flower ranks eighth in the MAC with a 35.5 percent three-point field goal percentage. Flowers' leads the team with 60 made three-pointers and is just five away from cracking into the top ten for most three's made in season.

The Big Three
Seniors Seth Dugan, Josh Davis and sophomore Michael Flowers are leading the Bronco offensive attack, having scored 1,224 of WMU's 2,047 total points.

Scouting the Opponent
Toledo heads into Tuesday's contest with an overall record of 23-6, 11-5 in conference play and with a win can capture its second straight MAC West title. On Tuesday the Rockets defeated Central Michigan, 80-65 to clinch a first-round bye in the MAC Tournament.
