TIGER NOTES

• Despite the current losing streak, CU's Taiveyhon Mason remains towards the top of the Mid-South Conference scoring leader board as the senior is averaging 20.8 points per game, good for second in the conference.
• If Mason continues at that scoring average, he will be the first Tiger to average 20 or more points per game since Zach Allender averaged exactly 20 in the 2008-09 season.
• Mason is also the team's leader in minutes played as he is averaging 34.3 minutes per game, the only other player on the team with over 30 minutes per game is junior Sam Weining, who sits at 30.5 minutes per game.
• Three-point shooting has been part of the struggle for CU as they are shooting 36.1 percent from distance, which ranks them seventh in the Mid-South Conference as a team.
