Junior center Jake Chrisman holds down the 24th spot nationally in scoring average with 20.8 points per game and senior Beau Nobmann is tied for 31st in steals with 2.45 per game.
Sophomore Austin Smylie, although he has not shot enough to qualify for the field goal percentage leadership, would rank 28th nationally with his field goal percentage of 58.5 if he shot more often.
