Still, WT leads the all-time series 67-18, including 41-8 in Canyon. … The Buffs, averaging just over 90 ppg, are ranked 24th in NCAA Division II and off to their best start since 2011-12. … WT currently leads Division II in wins and has two over Top 25 squads (Arkansas-Fort Smith, Fort Lewis). The Buffs’ only loss was at Lubbock Christian (95-86 on Nov. 17 in their only true road outing). … Ironically, ENMU, which doesn’t play its first home game until next week, has already participated in two weekend events at WT’s First United Bank Center, going 3-1. … Eleven players scored for WT in the win over Western, led by 22 points from junior G David Chavlovich, the defending LSC player of the year and preseason player of the year, pumped in 22 points. Chavlovich is slightly off his league-leading pace of a year ago (20.5 ppg), averaging 17.9 so far this season. He’s struggled a bit from the floor, shooting 37 percent overall and 30 percent on 3s after making a school-record 111 from long range in 2015-16. Earlier this season, he moved into fourth on the school’s all-time scoring list, passing former NBA star Maurice Cheeks.
