WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Still in the heart of the race for a MAC Commonwealth Tournament slot, the Lycoming College men's basketball team gets back on the floor on Saturday, Feb. 13, when it faces Hood in a critical MAC Commonwealth game at Lamade Gym.

The Warriors (15-8 overall, 7-7 MAC Commonwealth) have fallen into a tie for fourth-place in the league standings and a win against the Blazers would help keep the team assured of no worse than a tie for fourth in the league heading into the team's conference bye on Wednesday.

The Blazers (12-10 overall, 6-7 MAC Commonwealth) have hovered on the fringe of the conference tournament picture for most of the season, and the team's 58-45 win over Messiah on Feb. 10 leaves the Blazers just a half-game behind the Warriors.

Warrior Notes
• The Warriors lead the MAC Commonwealth in scoring margin (6.2), offensive rebounds (14.7), steals (9.4), rebounds (42.5) and turnovers forced (18.6).

• Lycoming needs one more win to post its fifth straight .500 season in MAC Commonwealth play, joining Alvernia as the only team in the league to achieve that mark. 

• Sophomore Alex Newbold needs four more steals to become the 14th player in school history to post 100 in a career.

• Newbold needs 11 more points to reach 500 in his career.

• Freshman T.J. Duckett needs two more 3-pointers to become the 20th player in school history to can 55 in a season.

• Lycoming's 216 steals this season are two shy of the top 10 in school history, where the 1998-99 squad sits with 218.
