The Series: Clarkson swept the season series against the Saints a year ago, but SLU is looking to return the favor as the Saints already have a 75-63 victory against the Green and Gold from November.
Key Stats for Clarkson (5-5, 0-3 Liberty League): The Knights top three scorers combined to produce 52 of the team's 63 points in the first meeting against the Saints. Nate Abernethy and Steve DeRegis each scored 18 points and Braeden Burns added in 16 points for the Knights back in November. Burns is now within striking distance of 1000 points of his career, needing 35 more to reach quadruple digits. He would be the first junior at Clarkson to do so since John Coleman required 66 games to get there back in early 2014. Burns would also become only the 10th player in program history to reach 1000 in three seasons or less.
Key Stats for St. Lawrence (3-7, 1-2 Liberty League): The Saints have struggled on offense during a six-game losing streak, averaging only 59.5 points per game without reaching 70 points once in that stretch and a far cry from the 81.25 points per game they averaged in the first four contests of the year. In the most recent run of offensive woes, SLU has struggled from the perimeter, shooting 23.4% from beyond the 3-point arc. Adam Dudzinski leads the team in scoring (15.2 ppg) and rebounding (9.6 rpg) while Dan Anderson (14.8 ppg) and Chris Downs, Jr. (12.0 ppg) also average double figures. Aidan Phelan is close to making it four in double digits, producing 9.9 points per game in only 20 minutes per contest.
