The Gents (0-1) are looking to establish themselves as a threat in the new American Southwest Conference after falling in their first game of the year last week at UT-Dallas.

LAST TIME OUT
Centenary fell 79-66 at ASC preseason favorite, UT-Dallas last Saturday. Senior Maxx Nakwaasah lit up the scoreboards with a career-best 26 points, while freshmen Daniel Allen added 11 and Caden Cheramie contributed with 10 in their college debuts.

COUNT IT DOWN FOR MAXX
Senior Maxx Nakwaasah has excelled the last two seasons as the Gents' leading scorer and one of the top rebounders on the team as a small forward. The Dallas, Texas native is eyeing the 1,000 point club and 500 rebound club at Centenary in his final season.
     Total Points: 748 (252 shy of 1,000)
     Total Rebounds: 377 (123 shy of 500)
