Five Things to Know Before Canisius Plays Quinnipiac
1. Griffs Good at Home
• Canisius moved to 8-2 at home this season with its 89-65 win over Siena Thursday night. The Griffs' eight wins this season is one better than the team had on its home floor last year, and it also gives the Blue and Gold a record of .500 or better in the Koessler Athletic Center for the sixth-straight season.

2. Double-Digit MAAC Wins
• Canisius enters Saturday's game with a MAAC record of 10-2, the third time the team has been 10-2 through the first dozen league contests. Canisius was also 10-2 in league play in 1996-97, and most recently, in 2013-14. The 10 league wins this year for the Blue and Gold marks the fifth time in the last six years where the team has scored 10-or more league victories.

3. Crumpton's Home Cooking
• Senior Jermaine Crumpton scored a game-high 24 points in the win over Siena on Thursday, his 22nd career game with 20-or more points scored. This season, the Niagara Falls, N.Y., native has scored 20-plus points at home eight times, and he enters Saturday's game against Quinnipiac averaging a team-best 21.3 points per game in 10 home dates this year. That stands as the highest home scoring average for a Griff since Billy Baron poured in 25.3 points per game in home games during the 2013-14 campaign.

4. Three for Three
• Canisius junior Jonathan Sanks has scored a career-high 14 points in back-to-back games after he posted 14 points to the winning effort against Siena on Thursday. In the Griffs' last two games, Sanks has drilled a total of seven 3-point field goals, and he starts Saturday ranked ninth in the MAAC in 3-point field goal percentage at 41.5 percent.

5. Man of Steal
• Canisius sophomore Isaiah Reese earned two steals on Thursday in the win over Siena, and he starts Saturday's game with 59 steals for the season. The Miami, Fla., native has at least one steal in 17-straight games, and his 59 swipes this year are the most for a Canisius player since Craig Wise had 59 steals in 1993-94.
