Individual stats are up as well.  According to the numbers:

Nabors and Harper are rebounding beasts, but not so great offensively.
Miles is having a real good season in numerous categories.
Both Nwevo's and Custer's stats are way down from previous years.  Why are they both having down years?
Harris and Mathis have been underwhelming.  Brown and Wesley haven't done much (but hey they're freshmen).

SELA is over rated... Big time
They have beat:
Science and Arts of OK
196 Rated Florida Atlantic
244 Rated Jacksonville State
Milsaps
Spring Hill
325 Rated Jackson St
343 Rated Southern
and finally William Carey


I think this is a winnable away game for us. If we can win this we will have good momentum going into conference play.
