SCOUTING THE PANTHERS: Clark Atlanta started the season with seven straight losses, but has rebounded to win five of their last seven games – including four straight following Saturday's 82-69 victory over Central State.
Senior forward Romaine Thomas is leading the CAU attack with 17.2 points and 9.1 rebounds. He has reached double figures in all but one game, and has recorded six double-doubles on the season. Thomas isn't the lone double figure scorer for the Panthers as senior guard Tyler Singleton is averaging 13.2 points.
 
TAR HEELS: Clark Atlanta is coached by former NBA first round draft pick and North Carolina Tar Heel, George Lynch.
 
PROLIFIC OFFENSE: After an exhilarating performance in which Kentucky State scored 48 second-half points, the Thorobreds maintained its top-ranked scoring offense. KSU is leading the SIAC in scoring with 76.7 points per game, however, the Thorobreds are ninth in the league in scoring margin at negative 1.6 points. KSU is yielding 78.3 points per game, which is ninth in the league.

Thanks to senior Jordan Little, who is second in the league in shooting, Kentucky State is third in the SIAC with a field goal percentage of 45.1 percent. The ability to share the ball is aiding in the ability to get quality shots as the Thorobreds are third in the league with 14.5 assists.
 
ALPHA & OMEGA: Kentucky State leads the league in three-point defense with teams making just 25.8 (72-of-279) percent of their three-point attempts, while Clark Atlanta is on the other end of the spectrum allowing teams to hit almost 40 percent (117-of-298) from distance – which is last in the SAIC.
 
HITTING THE GLASS: Senior Jordan Little is third in the league in offensive rebounding, averaging 2.6 boards, while senior Shaq Athie is second with 6.2 defensive rebounds. Clark Atlanta senior Romaine Thomas leads the SIAC with 6.9 defensive rebounds.
