WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - The Lycoming College men’s basketball team will wrap up its two-game Commonwealth Conference homestand on Saturday by hosting Arcadia in a 3 p.m. tip-off, looking to move a little closer to the team’s second playoff berth in the last three years.

The Warriors (16-4 overall, 6-3 Commonwealth) are coming off a 92-77 loss to Albright, but the team has won all four of its Saturday conference matchups this season, including a 10-point win over the Knights on Jan. 14, in which junior guard Ihsaan Davis notched 20 points.

The Knights (9-11 overall, 2-7 Commonwealth) fell to Alvernia by 10 points on Wednesday, Feb. 1. Junior guard Khalief Trawick leads the team with a 10.9 points per game average, which is 18th in the league.
