Both players have over a 50% success rate from the free throw line, along with over half the team having large success rates from the line as well. The Mustangs must watch their fouls to prevent the Golden Hawks from having any opportunities at the line.

After the Mustangs victory against the Warriors in early January, their second contest comes with the Warriors having completed a 7-3 record in their last ten games. The Warriors are currently on a two game winning streak after victories against Nipissing and Laurentian, and will be hoping to extend their streak with a win against the purple and white.
 
Three players on the Warriors lineup have averaged double digits per game, with Myles Charvis leading the team with 20 points per game on average. Jon Ravenhorst leads the team with 6.0 rebounds per game, making him one of the Mustangs biggest threats on the Warriors defence.

With an overall success rate of 69.6% at the free throw line, the Mustangs must be careful in their defence and fouls given to prevent the Warriors from having a chance at the line. The Mustangs 44.9% field goal success compared to the Warriors 39.2% gives the Warriors a challenge defensively.
