About Jefferson

• Jefferson is excelling at the free throw line where their 80.3% leads the CACC and is fourth nationally. 
• The Ram defense is also at the top of the league allowing a CACC-low 70.8 points per game. They're allowing teams to shoot 31.6% from three which is third in the CACC.

• They're on the plus-side of the turnover margin forcing 14.7 per game and losing the ball 13.3 times, fewest in the conference. 
• Where the Rams have struggled is rebounding the ball. Their 32.9 rebounds per contest is the lowest in the CACC.
