Norman’s Fighting Hawks To Remain on Winning Path
The Fighting Hawks are looking for any signal that will lead to a more successful season this year. North Dakota barely managed to finish the season with a 2-16 record in 2021-22.
The fact that the Fighting Hawkeyes have an early season victory may help put them above previous years. As the team gets ready for its second road game, the expectations are rising to start establishing a better level of performance.
For the Fighting Hawks, a victory against Incarnate Word was partly thanks to Matt Norman, who finished the game with 14 points and a 50% field goal percentage, while Elijah Brooks added two steals.
Kaluma’s Blue Jays Have High Hopes
Last season, the Blue Jays were successful, finishing with a positive season record. However, that record proved insufficient to make it into the postseason.
The Blue Jays finished the 2021-22 season with a 12-7 record, while conference rivals like Villanova and Providence finished at the top of the standings.
After their 72-60 win over St. Thomas, Creighton is aiming at a second straight home victory against the Fighting Hawks. Arthur Kaluma led them with 17 points, while Trey Alexander shot 45.5% from the field in the victory.
