•    After playing PSAC unbeaten Shippensburg on Tuesday, the Marauders host another team that is undefeated in PSAC play on Friday. East Stroudsburg has won six consecutive games and eight of the last nine. Tied for first in the PSAC in scoring offense, the Warriors will challenge a Marauders' defense that has allowed 191 points (95.5 ppg) and 56.2 percent shooting in its last two games.  The good news for Millersville is that Friday's game is at home, where it is 4-1 and holding teams to 74.8 points and 44.8 percent shooting. By comparison, in away games, the Marauders are 1-5 and allowing 79.2 points per game on 47.9 percent shooting. Millersville ranks 15th in the 18-team league in field goal percentage defense.
•    Millersville has managed to offset its defensive struggles by generating turnovers and taking care of the ball offensively. Millersville has committed fewer turnovers than each of its 11 opponents and leads the PSAC in committing just 10.9 turnovers per game. Millersville's 4.55 turnover margin is third in the PSAC, trailing East Stroudsburg, which ranks No. 2. The Warriors create 20.8 turnovers per game with a league-leading 9.33 steals per game. Jon Lott ranks 15th in the PSAC in assist/turnover ratio (1.5).
•    Millersville and East Stroudsburg first played in the 1912-13 season, and Millersville dominated the series until 2008-09, owning a 95-43 lead.

Millersville has scored more than 70 points just once in the last eight meetings while ESU has 82 points per game in that stretch.
