GAME NOTES

BUSY WEEK RECAP
Green Bay played three games in five days last week, falling to 2-3 after opening the season with two wins at home. GB dropped a home game to IUPUI, before losing both games in its Ohio trip to Cleveland State and Youngstown State. Over those three games, Khalil Small is averaging a team-best 23.0 PPG, another team-best 6.7 RPG and is tied for the team lead with seven assists. Sandy Cohen III is second on the team in scoring with 15.0 PPG and is shooting 56.7 percent (17-for-30). GB made just 17 of its 67 3-point attempts last week, shooting 25.4 percent from long range. The team was on the negative side of its turnover margin (-4.3), rebounding margin (-7.3), but lost two of its game by a combined 5 points and the 11-point defeat at YSU.
 
NBA-LIKE TRAVEL
By time the morning of Tuesday, Jan. 16 comes around, Green Bay will have already played 8 Horizon League games, the most of any team in the conference. Off to a 2-23 start, GB is tight on practice and preparation time, and has played the most amount of games of any Horizon League team. GB virtually plays every other day, having played 5 games over just a 10-day span to open Horizon League play, and will play three more games following that over a 6-day span. The Phoenix will play 10 games in the month of January alone and will play only one home game over its last six games and only once in the month of February.
 
SMALL IN LARGE
Senior Khalil Small enjoyed the best week of individual scoring in his collegiate career, scoring 69 points and averaging 23.0 PPG over is team's last three games. While the team came up short in each of those games, Small certainly did his part, leading the team in scoring, rebounding, minutes, free throws, 3-pointers made and assists. The senior leader enjoyed the best two-game stretch of his career, scoring a career-high 30 points at Cleveland State and 21 points at Youngstown State. Small has scored in double-figures in all 18 games this season (19-straight overall), the most double-digit scoring games among all Horizon League players. Green Bay's senior leader Khalil Small notched his 1,000th career point last Thursday night, becoming just the 28th player in program history to reach that milestone. He has scored in double-figures in all 18 games this year, the most double-figure scoring games by any HL player this season. Below is where Small ranks all-time in career scoring:
20. Mike King (1999-2004) – 1154
21. Tom Brown (1981-85) – 1149
22. Jerry Carstensen (1996-00) – 1137
23. Jordan Fouse (2012-16) – 1136
24. Terry Evans (2004-09) – 1099
25. Dean Vander Plas (1987-91) – 1050
