Men's Basketball Welcomes College of Mount Saint Vincent Looking to End Two-Game Skid

The Bear Facts

• After crossing the century mark in a win over second place Sage two weeks ago, the Bears look to jump start their No. 2 Skyline offense that averaged less than 60 points in a pair of losses last week.
• Despite posessing wins over the three teams in the league standings, the Bears still find themselves in seventh place, just outside of playoff contention. But a win today and a split of the season series would move the Bears into a tie for sixth with Mount Saint Vincent and one game behind fifth place with four more league games remaining.
• In the earlier meeting vs. the Dolphins in November, senior Michael Megafu had a near double-double with 21 points and nine rebounds as the Bears erased a 10-point deficit, only to come up short in Riverdale 76-68.
• Matt O'Neill leads the offense with a league third-best 18.2 points per game and a second-best 4.3 assists. He also leads the league with 3.2 thefts an outing pacing the team to a Skyline-best +3.95 turnover margin
• Double-double machine Michael Megafu is tied for the Skyline lead with 11 so far and grabbs a league-best 11.4 boards, paired with a top-10 15.6 points a game. He also ranks second in the league in blocks with 2.3 rejections a game.
• Last week's Skyline Player of the Week Jamir Archer rounds out three Bears in the top 10 in scoring with 13.6 points a game, shooting at a third best 55.3 percent clip. 

Milestone Watch

• 33: Points Megafu needs to reach 1,500 for his career
