The Cougars enter the week winners of their last four, and have an overall record of 15-5. IUK sits atop the RSC West division standings with a conference record of 9-1.

Carlow's lone win came back on November 4th against Penn State New Kensington, winning 65-56. The Celtics are led by sophomore guard Riley Comforti who averages 13 points per game.

IU Kokomo is yet to lose to Carlow, as they are 8-0 all-time against the Celtics.

The Pioneers were tabbed to finish tenth in the RSC this season, but they have performed well under first-year head coach Kevin Reynolds. Point Park is in second-place in the RSC East with a conference mark of 7-3 and an overall record of 16-5. The Pioneers are coming off of a 108-103 4OT loss at IU East last Saturday.

Point Park is first in the nation in offensive rebounds per game, total rebounds per game, and rebound margin per game. The Pioneers have four guys who have average double-figure points per game, led by sophomore forward Jo Valrie.
