SALNAVE LEADS THE WAY

Ray Salnave led Monmouth five games in a row from 11/28 to 12/20, posting in double figures in four of those games and topping his career best twice. He netted 22 at Hofstra before scoring 25 at Albany.

TRAORE GRABBING BOARDS
In the first 12 games of the season, Mustapha Traore led MU five times in rebounding including the second and thirs double-digit rebounding games of his career. Traore tied a career-high with 10 boards at Bucknell before marking a career-best with 12 caroms against Yale. 

BIG LINEUP
Monmouth went with a two-big lineup against Bucknell to start for the first time since January 29, 2018 at Rider, with Mustapha Traore and Diago Quinn opening the game at the forward and center spots for the Blue and White. It marked Monmouth's third different lineup of the season. The Hawks have now used five different lineups in 12 games.

LONG LAYOFF
Monmouth went through a stretch of playing two games in a 24-day span, playing just twice between December 8 and January 3. MU played Yale on December 20 and Penn on December 31. The gap between the 8th and 20th was Monmouth's longest layoff of the King Rice era, and longest since 2008.

MOVING UP THE GAMES PLAYED LIST
Diago Quinn moved into the top-25 of games played in program history against Yale, appearing in his 113th career game. Quinn tied former Hawks John Giraldo and Giedrius Aidietis and is on pace to play in at least 133 games. The all-time record was set by Chris Brady with 135 games, with Austin Tilghman in second with 132.
