Scouting the Opposition
Tiffin: January was kinder to the Dragons than the first two months of the season, and Tiffin enters the week on a high after upsetting Malone this past Saturday.
 
The Dragons field a lineup with size and athleticism headlined by forward Jonah Nesmith and guard Michael Lucarotti, two players who were part-time starters in 2024-25 but have become focal points of the team's attack this season. JuCo transfer Demar Burton, a 6-foot-8 wing, also has been a key player for Tiffin, along with another second-year player, D'monyae Davis.
 
In addition to the starters, redshirt freshman Noah Smith and JuCo transfer TJ Pangonas also play significant roles in the rotation. In the post, Ethan Damerum and Jacob Pleiman have been playing solid minutes for Tiffin as a duo.
 
Tiffin has been one of the best defensive teams in the conference, holding opponents to just 67.2 points per game, third in the G-MAC, but have struggled offensively, ranking dead last in the league by almost seven points a game.
 
Hillsdale has historically dominated the matchup with Tiffin, with a 36-7 record all-time in a series that dates to 1977. The Dragons, however, have won two straight at home over the Chargers, including a 60-56 victory on Jan. 17 that Hillsdale will be looking to avenge this week.
 
ODU: Until a recent slump, ODU had been the G-MAC's most surprising contender, surging in the standings. While recent losses have dimmed hopes of a regular season title, the Panthers still are in great shape to make the G-MAC Tournament for the first time in six years.
           
Now in his third season at ODU, head coach Casey Kaufman has reshaped the team in the image of his old Malone squads, with three of the team's top four scorers having originally played for him there. That includes big men Caleb Conard and Elijah Hinton, who have formed one of the G-MAC's best post tandems this season.
           
Guards Terrance Broughton, also an ex-Pioneer, and Augusta transfer Carson Seemann help run the offense, while Columbus area native Derek Goodman is a handful at both ends as well. Logan Ryan is the top player off the bench, and Brady Moore, Zac Kimball and Kenny Scott round out the rotation.
           
ODU hangs its hat on its physical defense, giving up just 67 points per game, second-best in the G-MAC.
           
Hillsdale is 23-5 all-time against the Panthers, and enters Saturday's contest on a 10-game winning streak in the series.

 
Scouting the Chargers
After battling through the first three months of the season, Hillsdale hits February with plenty to play for and big games ahead as the Chargers look to lock up a G-MAC Tournament bid.

Hillsdale is a balanced and deep team offensively, led by senior point guard Ashton Janowski. The team's leading scorer, Janowski is approaching 1,000 points for his career and shooting more efficiently from the floor than ever, with a career-high 36.4% shooting percentage from 3-point range.

Along with Janowski, the Chargers are also leaning heavily on a solid four-man rotation in the post. Junior Caleb Glaser had a great month of January and moved into the starting lineup, leading the team in rebounding and ranking second in scoring. Hillsdale also has gotten major contributions in the paint from Connor Stonebraker, Garrett Bolte and CJ Yarian, all of whom bring different skillsets and play styles for the Chargers to work with.

On the wing, freshman Braylon Morris has become a key offensive threat off the bench, averaging 8.9 points and shooting 42.2% from deep, while redshirt freshman Tommy Morgan has started every game and made significant contributions at both ends of the floor.

Guard Cole McWhinnie is posting career highs for the Chargers as well and is an important connector in the starting lineup for Hillsdale, while freshman Paxton Giertz also has carved out a role off the bench on the perimeter.

Hillsdale is still hoping for the return of junior Mikey McCollum, the team's sixth man off the bench in 2024-25 who finished as the team's second-leading scorer with 12.1 points per game last year. McCollum has battled injuries and has missed the start of the 2025-26 season but if he can get healthy he would provide a major boost offensively.

Returning for his third season as head coach of Hillsdale College is Keven Bradley, who has a 38-20 record so far leading the Chargers. Bradley is joined by two new assistants, Jackson McLaughlin and Braeden Proctor, for the 2025-26 campaign.
 
Other Notes

• Hillsdale ranked eighth in the initial Great Midwest Point Rating System release on Feb. 2. The Point Rating System will be used to determine the eight teams that make the G-MAC Tourney in March, and to seed the field. While the Chargers currently sit in eighth, they have room to move up, as Hillsdale is just two games back of third place in the standings with eight games left in the regular season.
• As a senior captain and Hillsdale's only returning starter from last season, Ashton Janowski is linchpin player for the Chargers. With 650 career points entering the 2025-26 season, he has a chance of becoming the 42^nd player in Hillsdale College men's basketball history to surpass 1,000 points with a big final campaign. He's off to an impressive start in 2025-26 so far, leading Hillsdale with 12.5 points per game and burying a game-winning shot with one second to play in a 74-72 victory over Ohio Christian on Nov. 22.
• Junior Caleb Glaser was inserted into the starting lineup on Jan. 3 against Malone and has proven that was a wise decision with a string of impressive performances, including a 19 point, nine rebound effort against Walsh on Jan. 5 and a career best 21-point, eight rebound performance at Kentucky Wesleyan on Jan. 8. Always a high-energy player throughout his career, Glaser currently ranks second on the team in scoring (11.1 points per game) and first in rebounding (6.1 per game) and has five double-figure scoring games in his last six.
• Freshman Braylon Morris has flashed serious potential off the bench for the Chargers to start his career at Hillsdale, with a pair of 20-plus point games in victories for the Chargers so far. Morris poured in 28 points in a double-OT win over Lake Erie on Dec. 6, and led Hillsdale with 22 points in a win over Truman State on Dec. 17. In both victories he shot over 70% from the floor and 50% from 3-point range. He's stayed hot recently, with three double-figure scoring contests off the bench in his last five games.
• Senior Cole McWhinnie is a veteran leader for the Chargers and is playing a key role on the perimeter for Hillsdale in his first season as a starter. McWhinnie is averaging a career high in points while also ranking first among Hillsdale players in assists (3.5 per game, seventh in the G-MAC) and steals (0.8 per game). He also ranks second in the G-MAC among all players in assist to turnover ratio (2.9).
• Redshirt sophomore Connor Stonebraker has had big games off the bench recently for the Chargers, scoring 23 points in a Jan. 15 win over Cedarville and adding 14 more in a Jan. 17 contest at Tiffin. A third year player who's seeing consistent action for the Chargers for the first time, Stonebraker is flashing his versatile skill set and scoring ability, currently ranking third for the Chargers with 9.4 points per game on the season.
• A veteran presence with many games under his belt, center CJ Yarian has made a career out of doing the dirty work down low for the Chargers. Yarian ranks second for Hillsdale with 5.8 rebounds per game in 2025-26, and has always been a willing and skilled passer in the post throughout his career, with an impressive 2.3 assists per game as well. Yarian also ranks third in the G-MAC averaging a block per game and is on track to surpass 500 rebounds for his career before his time at Hillsdale is over, an impressive milestone that only a few Chargers have reached.
