GAME OVERVIEW
•  Millersville returns home to Pucillo Gymnasium for its final home game of 2017-18 with a chance to clinch its first postseason berth since 2014-15. The Marauders are 1 1/2 games up on Lock Haven and Mansfield with two games to play. The Marauders already hold the head-to-head tiebreaker with Mansfield and can eliminate Lock Haven with a win on Saturday. A win would put the Marauders in the No. 6 slot, which would lead to a first round game against the No. 3 seed. 
• The first meeting of the season between Millersville and Lock Haven was decided at the buzzer when Marcus Adkison broke a 64-64 tie with a right-hand layup. Millersville won 42 of 47 meetings between 1949 and 2013, but the arrival of Mike Nestor at Lock Haven has made the series far more competitive. Lock Haven has won six of the last 11 meetings including two wins at Pucillo in that span. Expect a close game. The last three match-ups have been decided by a total of 12 points. 
• Millersville is 5-8 at home this season and statistically speaking, it performs much better in Pucillo Gymnasium. The Marauders average nearly a full 10 points more per game at home (81.2) than on the road (71.9). Millersville's shooting percentage is also 25 points better at home (.459/.434) and the 3-point shooting percentage jumps from .355 on the road to .362 at home. Adkison is shooting an incredible .471 from three at home compared to .380 on the road. 
• Seniors Conrad Chambers and Jordan Greene will play their final home games as Marauders on Saturday. Both players arrived at Millersville prior to the 2015-16 seasons and have been key contributors since. Greene has led the team in rebounding in each of the last two years and owns a 12.0 points per game average and .467 field goal percentage. He is posting career best numbers in points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, field goal percentage and 3-point percentage as a senior. He has scored 20 or more points seven times this season and has four career double-doubles. Chambers has started every game this season and 50 of 52 in his career. Chambers owns a career 3.89 3-point percentage and a .832 free throw percentage. He has averaged 11.5 points per game over the last two seasons and is second on the team in assists this season with 2.8 per game. 
• Greene has been on quite a run the last seven games. He's scored in double figures six times and 18 or more five times in that stretch. In that span, he's averaging a team-high 34.7 minutes per game, scoring 17.4 points per game with a team-high 6.0 rebounds per game. He's scored at an efficient clip, too, hitting nearly 52 percent of his shots while knocking down 14 of 31 (.452) threes. 
• Adkison enters Saturday's game with 60 steals, ranking third in the PSAC and ninth in Division II in steals per game. He needs just one more steal to tie Mike Monroe (1989-90) and Harold Ford (1969-79) for ninth on Millersville's singe-season steals list. Adkison's 74 3-pointers made this season makes him one of just three players in Millersville history with two entries in the single season top 10 of 3-pointers made. He is the first player to do it since hall of famer and former PSAC East Player of the Year Lance Gelnett in 1990-91/1991-92.  With a current free throw percentage of .879, Adkison is on pace to set the single-season school record, which was set at .863 by Sam Light in 2014-15. Adkison ranks fifth in the PSAC and 37th in Division II in free throw percentage. 

SCOUTING LOCK HAVEN
• Lock Haven has lost four in a row and five of the last six, allowing at least 81 points in each of the last four losses. It has also given up more than 100 twice in that stretch. Lock Haven is among the top free throw shooting teams in the PSAC, ranking fourth at 74.7 percent. It also ranks sixth in total attempts. 
• While Millersville is among the top five in the nation in forcing turnovers, Lock Haven ranks 16th in the league in assist/turnover ratio. 
• Amir Hinton is certainly an All-PSAC East candidate. He ranks second in the league in scoring at 23.3 points per game, trailing the leader by just 0.6 per game. Hinton also ranks sixth in the league in minutes played per game. He scored 39 against East Stroudsburg last week and also scored 47 against California earlier in the season. He makes a living at the free throw line. He leads the league with 186 attempts and converts at an impressive .839 clip.
