LAST TIME OUT
The Broncos picked up their first road win of the 2026-27 season on Thursday night, rolling to an 81-59 victory at Purdue Fort Wayne. Five players scored in double-figures for the Brown and Gold, led by Julien Gomez, who netted a season-high 19 points off of the bench. Gomez was joined in double-figures by Augustinas Kiudulas (15), Mason Bendinger (12), Adam Harakow (10) and Jaylen Washington (10).

TURNING UP THE D
WMU's defense has been the best in the MAC through its first four games, holding its opponents to 60.8 points per game, the lowest mark in the league and 38th-best in NCAA DI. The Broncos are third in the conference in both field goal percentage defense at 38.3 percent and three-point percentage defense at 25.9 percent. The 25.9 percentage for opponents on their three-point tries ranks inside of the nation's top-50.

BALANCED BRONCOS
Western Michigan had five players score in double-figures for the second time this season in Thursday night's win at Purdue Fort Wayne. Julien Gomez led the way with 19 points, while Augustinas Kiudulas tallied 15, Mason Bendinger notched 12 points, Adam Harakow had 10 and Jaylen Washington also chipped in 10. The Brown and Gold have had four different leading scorers in their first four games (Kiudulas, Bendinger, Washington and Gomez) and eight different players have scored in double-figures at least once.

DIALING LONG DISTANCE
WMU enters Sunday's game having made at least one three-pointer in 490 straight games, dating back to the 2010-11 season. The Broncos hit 11 three-pointers in Thursday's victory at Purdue Fort Wayne, marking their third consecutive game with double-digit triples. Western Michigan has been one of the top three-point shooting teams in the country thus far, leading the MAC and ranking 19th nationally with 12.3 made three's per game. The Brown and Gold are converting at a high rate as well, ranking second in the conference and 29th in the nation at 41.5 percent from downtown.

CLEANING THE GLASS
The Broncos were once again dominant on the glass against Purdue Fort Wayne, outrebounding the Mastodons 38-23. Adam Harakow paced the Brown and Gold with eight rebounds, while seven of the nine players who saw the court for WMU grabbed at least four boards in the contest. Through four games, Western Michigan is fifth in the conference at 41.5 rebounds per game and ranks second in the league and 37th nationally with a +12.3 rebounding margin. As it has been with their scoring, the Broncos have been rebounding by committee, with six players averaging between 4.3 and 6.3 rebounds per game. 

AUTOMATIC AUGGIE
WMU enters Sunday with five different players averaging double-digit points, but the most consistent scorer for the Brown and Gold so far this season has been Augustinas Kiudulas, who ranks second on the team at 12.0 points per game. The senior forward is the lone Bronco to have been in double-figures in each of the team's first four games, and led the team in scoring on Opening Night at Old Dominion. Kiudulas has been efficient in his scoring, hitting 45.9 percent of his shots from the field and an even 50.0 percent (7-of-14) from beyond the arc.

SERIES HISTORY
Western Michigan and Southern Indiana are meeting for the fourth time ever on Sunday afternoon in Evansville. The Broncos have won two of the three prior encounters between the two programs, all of which came in Kalamazoo. The Brown and Gold picked up an 88-74 victory over the Screaming Eagles last season in what was the first meeting since 1982.
