THE TEAMS: Kentucky State (10-10 overall, 4-8 SIAC) are in seventh place in the West Division, but are only two games back of third place Lane. However, the Dragons would hold the tiebreaker.

Spring Hill (10-11 overall, 6-6) is coming off a thrilling 62-60 win over Central State on a basket with three seconds remaining. It was a much needed win as the Badgers had one win in their last five games.

THE COACHES: Terrance Slater is in his third season as the head coach, and fifth season with the program. He led Kentucky State to the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference semifinals a season ago. He was an assistant the last time KSU advanced to the SIAC title game.

She led the Badgers to their first winning season in 10 years in 2014-15 with a 14-12 overall record and an 11-7 mark in their first season as a member of NCAA Division II and the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC).
