THIS AND THAT

Fans can follow all Wayne State home basketball games online via GameTracker (through wsuathletics.com) and all men's basketball games (home and away) with audio from wdtkam.com.

Kris Krzyminski needs 117 points for 1,000 in his WSU career.

Krzyminski needs two three-point field goals made to tie the WSU single-season record of 77 set by Charles LeSure during the 1999-00 campaign.

Krzyminski's 24.09 scoring average is currently the third-best single-season mark in school history (Bob Solomon - 25.96 in 1972-73 and Michael Aaron - 25.72 in 1993-94) are the top two season scoring averages in WSU history).

Krzyminski's 50.0 percent shooting from beyond the arc is on pace to break the WSU single-season mark of 45.7 set by Ethan Banks (2004-05/59-129) of those with at least 125 attempts in a season.

Krzyminski's 84.8 percent shooting from the foul line is currently fifth-best single-season mark in WSU history (of those with at least 65 attempts in a season). The school record is 88.4 percent by Mark Herron (1992-93/61-69).
