On the offensive side of the ball, basketball head coach Mark Montgomery’s message all season long has been that the team has no discernible stars.

The Huskies may not have a go-to scorer per se, but on any given night anyone can be the high scorer. This season, the Huskies have had seven players lead them in points.

In recent seasons, the Huskies would play more of a one-on-one style of offense, whereas this season they play more as a unit. They have established an inside-out game which has been effective with the players they have on the court.

Their first option is to pound the ball inside to center Jordan Threloff and let him post up. He has been a force for the Huskies in the paint, averaging 8.5 points per game in conference play. He has been one of the Huskies’ most consistent players as of late, scoring in double figures in four of his last five games.

Another post-up option for the Huskies is wing Darrell Bowie. Bowie is one of the Huskies’ most aggressive players when it comes to getting to the basket, as he leads the team in free-throw attempts with 147. Bowie is the Huskies’ second-leading scorer, averaging 9.8 points in conference play.

When Threloff and Bowie have the ball in the post, most teams will double team them, which leaves the Huskies’ shooters open.

Guard Travon Baker, forward Aksel Bolin and guards Aaric Armstead and Aaron Armstead have taken advantage of their open shots as of late.

Baker is the lone Huskie averaging double figures in conference play, scoring 10.8 points per game. His 3-point shot has been coming around this season, as he is one of the better 3-point shooters, leading the Huskies with 27 made 3-point field goals.

Bolin has been one of the hottest shooters from beyond the arc in conference play this season. He has hit 14 3-pointers and is shooting 43 percent, which is the fourth-best percentage from beyond the arc in the MAC.

Since stepping into the starting lineup, Aaric Armstead has only improved in conference play, scoring 8.2 points per game compared to 6.2 points per game in non-conference games. Aaron Armstead has remained consistent, averaging seven points off the bench, and he has continued to be a 3-point threat, knocking down 11 3-pointers in conference play.

This group of players is starting to come together for the Huskies, and they are beginning to put up some of their best numbers this season.

Up until the Akron contest Saturday, the Huskies had been at the top of their game offensively, scoring their second-highest point total of the season against Central Michigan Wednesday, when they put up 88 points. Just prior to that game, they scored 71 points against Western Michigan Jan. 9.
