KEYS TO THE GAME

• Control the Glass: The Mighty Macs dominated the rebounding battle against St. Joseph's Brooklyn, finishing with a 55-39 advantage. Continuing that effort will be important against a Brandywine team that features an active frontcourt led by Taylor.
• Take Care of the Basketball: Immaculata committed 21.5 turnovers per game during the opening weekend. Protecting possessions, making smart decisions, and limiting opportunities for the Lions in transition will be critical.
• Establish Offensive Balance: The Mighty Macs have received contributions from several players early in the season. Continuing to get production from Jankowski, Bull, Alexander, and the supporting cast will help Immaculata create offensive opportunities both inside and outside.
