The Cougars began CAA play 5-0, but then went 1-2 in a tough stretch against W&M, Northeastern and Hofstra. They escaped with a 69-67 home win over the Pride on Saturday night to stay in 2nd place. And with the Tribe losing their first CAA game to Drexel, their hold on 1st place could be tenuous.
As usual, Charleston relies on their defense, where they are very difficult to break in halfcourt sets. And as usual, their offense begins and ends with Grant Riller, who is averaging 21.6 ppg, shooting .505 from the field and .347 from 3-point range. He also leads the team in rebounding. at 5.7 rpg. Brevin Galloway has served as a great "3 and D" player for the Cougars as well. He is 2nd on the team in scoring (11.1 ppg), is the team's best perimeter threat (.362 %) and is also averaging 1.9 steals per game.
