About the College of Southern Nevada

CSN seeks a reset after four straight losses, including the 95-76 defeat to AWC on January 17. Closing the rebounding gap is paramount after being outrebounded by 23 in that game. The Coyotes will look to their scoring core and a bounce-back from key guard Maximus Romero to keep pace.

• #10 Ryan Raad (G): Team's leading scorer at 19.0 PPG; central to CSN's offensive hopes. • #22 Ivoryon Cuffee (G): Led CSN with 23 points in the last meeting. • #1 Maximus Romero (G): 14.8 PPG; held to 7 points (1-for-8) on Jan. 17 but had 39 vs. AWC last season—true X-factor. • #35 Gerald Patterson (F): 14.1 PPG; limited to 8 points last time, key to CSN's interior presence and rebounding response. • #30 Drake Watanabe (G): 12.6 PPG; needs a lift after a 5-point outing in the previous matchup.
