SCOUTING REPORT 
 
MSU Mankato currently remains at an overall record of 2-3 this season following a pair of losses against the Southern Nazarene Storm and the Fort Hays State Tigers at the Fort Hays Central Region Showcase. The Bulldogs are 11-4 against the Mavericks since the 2013- 14 season, defeating Mankato 86-70 in their most recent matchup during last year's NCAA DII Central Region tournament. The Bulldogs will look to capitalize on the Mavericks recent losing streak to gain some momentum before their first homestand at Romano Gymnasium this weekend. 
 
LOOKING AHEAD 
 
The Bulldogs will host their first homestand at Romano Gymnasium with a series of matchups against Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan. The action for UMD will kick off on Saturday, Nov. 25, at 2:00 PM.
