GAME NOTES
A November to Remember

* Green Bay’s six November wins were the most in the school’s history by two games.
* The previous record was four, set in the 2007-08 campaign (4-2 record).
* Just 24 teams nationally closed the first month of the season with at least six victories.

Quick Starts
* Green Bay is 6-2 through eight games for the third straight year.
* The Phoenix is looking for its first 7-2 start since the 1995-96 campaign, a year the team went 25-4 and made its last NCAA Tournament appearance.

Getting Defensive
* Green Bay has allowed just 103 points over its last two outings, which is the fewest given up in back-to-back games since Dec. 6-11, 2008, when Detroit (46)  and Idaho State (53) combined to score 99.
* Green Bay’s last two opponents combined to shoot just 31.9 percent (36 for 113), including a paltry 17.5 percent from 3-point range (7 of 40).

It’s That Time Already?
* This week Green Bay will entertain UIC (Dec. 3) and Loyola (Dec. 5) to start the Horizon League season.
* In an odd scheduling year, Green Bay plays four Horizon League games prior to the start of the 2010 calendar year (UIC-Dec. 3, Loyola-Dec. 5, Youngstown State-Dec. 19, Butler-Dec. 31).

All-Time vs. Loyola
* Green Bay is 19-14 (.576) against the Ramblers in a series that dates back to 1995.
* The Phoenix is 11-4 against Loyola all-time in Titletown and has won two straight.
* Three of the last four meetings have been determined by six points or less.
* Head coach Tod Kowalczyk is 7-7 lifetime against Loyola.
