WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - After a pair of losses that came down to the final seconds, the Lycoming College men’s basketball team will head into the final week of the season fighting for its right to earn one of the four Commonwealth Conference championship bids, starting by facing Elizabethtown on Tuesday, Feb. 14 in a must-win game.
The Warriors (17-6 overall, 7-5 Commonwealth) are coming off back-to-back devastating losses, dropping a two-point overtime game to league-leading Messiah and a one-point game to second-place Widener. However, the team can still lock up a playoff bid with a win and a loss by Albright, who is facing Arcadia.
The Blue Jays (8-14 overall, 4-8 Commonwealth) can play the role of the spoiler, as they did when they beat the Warriors, 69-66, at Lamade Gym on Jan. 25.
