Cedric Coward Forward vs. Kobe Sanders Guard

Cedric Coward has become an indispensable presence for the Eastern Washington Eagles. With his scoring touch around the rim and prowess on the glass, Coward is averaging 12.7 points and 6.2 rebounds per contest. His 51.2% field goal percentage demonstrates his scoring efficiency in the paint as well as his nose for the ball on missed shots. Coward spearheads the Eagles’ interior offense while also controlling the defensive boards with authority.

For the Cal Poly Mustangs, guard Kobe Sanders is an adaptable threat capable of impacting all phases of the game. Putting up 17.4 points per outing as the team’s primary option, Sanders also excels at the charity stripe with a 89.7% free throw percentage. While he has some room for improvement with his 41.4% overall field goal rate, Sanders remains a constant perimeter weapon the Eagles must account for.

The Coward vs. Sanders matchup will pit interior brawn against exterior skills. Coward is sure to test Sanders’ defensive fortitude near the basket, while Sanders will look to stretch the agile big man out to the arc. As two of the most talented players squaring off, their individual battle could tilt the outcome for their respective squads. Expect their ongoing confrontation to captivate all game long.

Eastern Washington Eagles: High Scoring Offense

The Eastern Washington Eagles have established themselves as an offensive juggernaut, averaging 77.3 points per contest – far outpacing the Cal Poly Mustangs’ 63.3 points per outing. The Eagles have crafted an impressively efficient scoring attack, converting field goals at a 47.8% clip while also drilling 9.2 shots from deep at a 34% rate. However, the team’s aggressive style does come with downsides; turning the ball over 13.8 times per game and committing 19.7 fouls on average.

Cal Poly Mustangs: Strong Defensive Strategy

Though they score at a lower 66.2 point per game rate, the Mustangs counter with an admirable defensive performance, recording 5.7 steals and 3.6 blocks per contest. While posting a middling 41.9% field goal percentage, Cal Poly nearly matches up from the charity stripe at 71.4%. Consequently, the Mustangs must fully utilize their defensive strengths and shore up their scoring efficiency in order to contend with the Eagles’ more explosive offensive talents.
