SHAWNEE – After a week in Arkansas, the Bison take a break in Great American Conference play as they take on National Christian College Athletic Association competitor Manhattan Christian at 7:30p.m. in the Noble Complex.
Â
SCOUTING MCC:
With a schedule filled by exhibition contests, the Thunder (2-4) aren't intimidated by NCAA competition. After kicking off their season against the reigning NAIA National Champions in Mid-America Christian and squaring up against NCAA Division II and Heartland Conference member Newman, there isn't much that Manhattan Christian hasn't seen.
Â
THUNDER FORECAST:
#15 NICK BABALOLA – MCC's leading scorer returns for his final season after averaging 13 points and 6.4 rebounds per contest last year.
Â
#4 STERLING TURNER – Also a senior, the guard follows Babalola in scoring 10 points per game and pulling down 4.4 boards.

BOUNCE-BACK BISON:
After stumbling against both Ouachita Baptist and Henderson State in Arkadelphia last week, OBU will look for normalcy over Thanksgiving week. Two of the team's best three-point shooters,
Tyler Lester and Tim Kuckailis, were left out of the competition last week due to injury.
Kevin Franceschi and
Steven Green led the way for the Bison, as Franceschi averaged 21.5 points over the two games
