Last Time Out: Jesse Browne poured in a game-high 26 points, helping Vassar (4-2) to an 85-82 win over Waynesburg University (1-3) on Day Two of the University of Rochester Thanksgiving Tournament on Sunday. Browne was one of four Brewers to reach double-digit scoring: Mason Dyslin notched a career-best 21 points along with eight rebounds, Alex Seff tallied 11 points on 4-of-8 shooting, adding a game-high six assists, and freshman Kyle Kappes added a career-best 10 points, going 3-of-4 from three-point range.  

A Look At The Brewers (4-2):

• The Brewers boast three captains this season in Adams, Browne and Seff.
• Vassar started 2016-17 with a 3-0 record for the first time since 2008-09. 
• Three Brewers are averaging double figures: Browne (17.5ppg), Seff (16.5ppg) and Dyslin (12.3ppg) round out Vassar's top scorers.
• Through five games, the Brewers are shooting 47 percent from the floor and 40 percent from three, while holding opponents to 44 and 40 percent, respectively.
• The Brewers have been generous with the ball, averaging 16.5 assists per game, which is 2.5 more than opponents have averaged.
• Owen Murray has played unselfishly during his freshmen campaign, dishing out a team-leading 3.8 dimes per game. He has also been dominant on the glass, grabbing a team-leading 5.5 rebounds per contest. 
• Multiple Brewers have made a habit of forcing turnovers, as Murray (14), Seff (11), Browne (9), Hunter Gettings (8), Mattie Mrlik (5), Dyslin (4), Kappes (3) and Chris Gallivan (1) have all swiped steals away from opponents. 
• Vassar has registered 55 steals so far this season, which is 22 more than opponents have totaled.
• The Brewers look to improve upon the 2015-16 season, in which they finished 12-14 overall and 8-8 in conference play with a trip to the Liberty League semifinals.

A Look At The Ephs (5-0): 

• The Ephs are a perfect 5-0 on the young season with wins over Manhattanville, Maine Maritime, MCLA, Eastern Connecticut State and Liberty League opponent Union College.
