NMU VERSUS PARKSIDE

Last year, the two teams split the regular season series with the Wildcats dropping a close decision, 58-55, at Parkside before rallying to post a 60-55 victory over the Rangers last month at home.
In that contest, the Wildcats went 22 of 46 on field goals for a 47.8 percent shooting rate while out rebounding the Rangers 38-25.
