Meanwhile, there’s no place like home for ETSU, who bounced back after a tough loss on the road on Saturday. They simply couldn’t be stopped on Wednesday as they easily beat Elon 84-58. The Buccaneers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won five games by 20 points or more this season.
ETSU’s success was spearheaded by the efforts of Quimari Peterson, who went 7 for 10 en route to 19 points plus six assists and two steals, and Jaden Seymour, who scored 17 points along with six rebounds and five assists. Seymour is also on a roll when it comes to blocks, as he’s now posted two or more in the last three games he’s played.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as both are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Kansas City hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 77.5 points per game. However, it’s not like ETSU struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 75.8. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
Kansas City came up short against ETSU in their previous meeting back in December of 2023, falling 70-57. Will Kansas City have more luck at home instead of on the road?
