Collin Schmidt stretches the floor for the Titans, netting 10.5 points per game, while shooting 39.5 percent from three. CJ Hornbeak and Mark White bring stingy defense at the guard position, while also averaging 10.4 and 10.0 points per game, respectively.

SCOUTING THE TROLLS

Trinity Christian brings two dynamic scorers with them, as both rank in the top 10 in the CCAC. Garrett Greene, the reigning conference player of the week, averages 16.2 points per game (453 total) with impressive efficiency numbers, shooting 54.0 percent from the field and 44.0 percent from beyond the arc.
