GAME OVERVIEW
• Winners of three of the last four, Millersville travels to Lock Haven Saturday for a game that is key to the PSAC Tournament seeding. The Marauders sit a half-game in front of Shippensburg with three regular season games remaining. The No. 4 seed is important for Millersville as nine of its 13 wins have come in Pucillo Gymnasium. Millersville's largest margin of victory this season—21 points—came against Lock Haven in the first meeting of the season. The Marauders held an offense averaging nearly 73 points per game to 53 points on 32.3 percent shooting from the field and 3-of-15 shooting from three. Lock Haven has been held under 60 points just three times this season.

• Millersville ranks ninth in the PSAC in scoring defense (71.8), eighth in field goal percentage defense (42.0) and third in 3-point field goal percentage defense (30.5). But those numbers hardly reflect the way the Marauders have played lately. The Marauders have won seven of their last 10 and have held their opponents to fewer than 70 points in six of those games. In those 10 games, Millersville has held teams to 67.4 points per game on 37.5 percent shooting from the field and 28.6 percent shooting from three. Millersville's last four opponents and eight of the last 10 have all been held under 40 percent shooting. Nine of the 10 have failed to shoot better than 33.3 percent from three and six have been held under 30 percent shooting.

• Center Anthony Moe is coming off of his third double-double performance of 15 points and 13 rebounds. While he has been with the Marauders for just 10 games, he has made a big impact. He's recorded at least nine rebounds in six of the last seven games and scored in double figures four times despite playing just 19.1 minutes per game. He is averaging nearly one rebound per two minutes played. With Moe on the floor, the Marauders have been 50 points better (341-291) than their opponents. His plus/minus per game of +5.00 is far and away the best on the team. Tavon Parker's +1.36 is next best. Since Moe joined the team, Millersville has averaged 42 rebounds per game while limiting opponents to 38.2. Prior to that, Millersville was beaten in the rebounding battle on average 41.0 to 32.3.

• Shawn Williams doesn't take many 3-pointers, averaging 2.28 attempts per game. But he has been efficient, hitting 40.4 percent, which is beset on the team. From Jan. 7-Jan. 17, Williams missed all 10 of his 3-pointer attempts. But since Jan. 19, Williams has hit 9-of-16 (.563). Williams also ranks 13th in the PSAC in assists per game at 3.4 and sixth in the PSAC in steals per game at 2.0. Williams has at least one steal in each of the last 10 games and has two or more in six of those games.

• Lock Haven won two of three meetings last season but Millersville won the PSAC Tournament game in Nelson Field House. Millersville had won 12 in a row in the series between 2001-02 and 2012-13 before Lock Haven's two wins last season. Nelson Field House is a tough place to play, though. Five of Lock Haven's seven wins have come at home and that includes wins over Kutztown and West Chester—teams in the top three in the PSAC East standings.

SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
• Lock Haven has scored 70-plus points in five consecutive games and is coming off of an 84-82 win over Kutztown at home. Wali Hepburn has led Lock Haven in scoring in 14 games this season including each of the last three. He's scored at least 19 points in four of the last five games. Bootsie Walker has grabbed double-digit rebounds in each of the last three games. Hepburn ranks second in the PSAC in scoring at 19.3 points per game. He also ranks 10th in steals, third in assists and 10th in minutes played.
