High Point had a much better turnover percentage (12.0 vs. 18.7). Campbell, on the other hand, had a better free throw rate (0.231 vs. 0.167).

This has potential to be a mistake-prone game for the offense of High Point. High Point ranks 226th in the NCAA in ball protection (turnover percentage of 19.4 percent), while the disruptive defense of Campbell forces the 72nd-most turnovers in the country (21.4 percent). Furthermore, put-back points could be few and far between for the Fighting Camels. They rank 293rd in the nation in offensive rebounding percentage at 25.1 percent, while the Panthers are 31st-best on the defensive glass (defensive rebounding percentage of 75.7 percent).
