Junior guard Druce Asah absolutely carved up Colorado Christian from 3-point land, making 9 of 16 attempts from distance to tie the MSU Den-ver single-game record for 3-pointers made in a 77-71 win. Asah scored 28 points in the game. Incredibly, Asah didn’t take a single shot inside the arc. Altogether, MSU Denver was 15 of 35 from beyond the arc in the game, a solid 42.1% clip.
Asah’s 9 makes from distance has been matched by just one other RMAC player this season, Colo-rado School of Mines’ Joe Miks.
NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
This season’s roster sports quite a bit of new blood, to the tune of 83.5% of the Roadrunners’ scoring coming from newcomers so far this sea-son (freshmen, transfers and redshirt freshmen).
THA CARTER X
Druce Asah was not the only Roadrunner to have his best game of the season at Colorado Chris-tian. No. 10 Garrett Carter racked up the best total of his young MSU Denver career with 18 points and dropped a season-high seven dimes.
THIS...IS...DENVAH!
MSU Denver head coach Michael Bahl record-ed his 300th career win between his time as a player, assistant coach and head coach at MSU Denver with the Roadrunners’ victory at Colorado Christian.
WORKIN’ OVERTIME MSU Denver has played six games so far during the 2018-19 season, and two of them have re-quired an extra period to decide the winner. MSU Denver is 1-1 in those contests, with each coming against a school that was receiving votes in the NABC Top 25.
BEATING THE BEST MSU Denver’s first win of the season came on Nov. 24 against Texas A&M-Commerce, a team that was picked to win the Lone Star Conference, ranked No. 25 in the D2SIDA national poll, and was receiving votes in the NABC poll.
DOUBLE-DOUBLE TROUBLE
Roadrunners guard Enrique Cortés Zotes recorded a double-double against Texas A&M-Commerce with 16 points and 10 rebounds. It was just the third career double-double for the 6’3” guard. The others came vs. Northwest Nazarene on Nov. 24, 2017 (12 points, 10 rebounds) and at College of Idaho on Nov. 21, 2015 (10 points, 11 rebounds). Interestingly enough, all three of Cortés Zotes’ career double-doubles have come in the month of November.
WELCOME TO OUR BLOCK PARTY
Junior Kendall McIntosh is currently third in the RMAC in blocks per game at 1.5, but he’s not the only effective shot-swatter for the Roadrunners. Cain van Heyningen blocked four shots vs. Stan-islaus State in MSU Denver’s season opener on Nov. 16, which ties for the second-best individual single-game total by an RMAC player this season. Additionally, MSU Denver’s nine blocks against Stanislaus State counts as the second-best total for an RMAC team in a single game this season.
MR. CLUTCH
Redshirt freshman Marcus Jefferson was in-credibly clutch in MSU Denver’s win over Texas A&M-Commerce on Nov. 24, coming up big in multiple key moments. Jefferson scored five straight points to put the Roadrunners up 21-15 early, hit a 3-pointer to put MSU Denver up 49-48 with 6:24 to play, made two FT to put MSU Denver up 58-55 with 25 seconds left, then made 4 FT in the last 34 seconds of overtime to help seal the victory.

MSU DENVER HEAD COACH MICHAEL BAHLThere is one common denominator for many of the most successful seasons in the spectacular history of MSU Denver men’s basketball: the pres-ence of Michael Bahl.
The former Roadrunners star and national leader in 3-point percentage begins his second season as Metropolitan State University of Denver’s men’s basketball coach in 2018-19.
Bahl followed the program in his youth as the Roadrunners, led by coach Mike Dunlap, went 166-33 over six seasons with national championships in both 2000 and 2002 as well as a Final Four trip in 1999. Bahl joined the program as a player for the 2003-04 season and played on teams that went 110-21 over four seasons, with two appearances in the Elite Eight. He returned to the program as an assistant coach for the 2010-11 season and during seven years as an assistant, he was a part of teams than went 173-50.
Heading into the 2018-19 season, with Bahl serving as a player, assistant or head coach, the Roadrunners have compiled a record of 298-85 (.778).
