WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - It has been a trying first half of Commonwealth Conference play for the Lycoming College men's basketball team, as the squad has lost five games by a combined 23 points. However, as it ends the first half of league play on Wednesday, Jan. 22, at Dutch Burch Court at Lamade Gym, a win over Albright will put it in the fifth playoff slot heading into the final nine games of the year.

The Warriors (7-7 overall, 3-5 Commonwealth) have won two of their last three outings, but narrowly fell to league-leading Stevenson, 79-74, on Sunday, Jan. 19.

The Lions (8-7 overall, 4-4 Commonwealth) have dropped back-to-back games to Hood and Lebanon Valley, but won three straight before that against Eastern, league-leading Stevenson and Elizabethtown.
