Keep an eye on the arc in Friday's match: Canisius have been dynamite from deep this season, having drained 39.7% of their threes per game. It's a different story for Mt St Mary's, though, as they've only made 31.7% of their threes per game this season. Given Canisius' sizeable advantage in that area, Mt St Mary's will need to find a way to close that gap.
