Incarnate Word comes to Lincoln with a 5-1 record as the Cardinals saw their seven-game win streak dating back to last season end with an 81-65 loss at UTEP Monday night. Incarnate Word is in its second year of transition to Division I and won 21 games in its first season as a Division I program. The Cardinals are an up-tempo club, averaging 86.2 points per game and shooting 47 from the field, including 43 percent from 3-point range.
The Cardinals return three starters, including senior Denzel Livingston, a first-team preseason All-Southland Conference pick who averaged 20.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.5 steals per game in 2013-14. He is one of four Cardinals averaging double figures this season with 20.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.8 steals per game. Freshman guard Jontrell Walker is at 19.0 points per game, including a 30-point effort at UTEP, while Kyle Hittle is at 16.6 points and a team-high 7.4 rebounds per game.
Ken Burmeister is in his ninth season at Incarnate Word and coached the Cardinals to a pair of NCAA Division II tournament appearances during his tenure.
