KNIGHTS OF KNOTE
Sophomore guard Jase Harrison continues to dominate in both offensive and defensive categories for ART U, leading the team in average: points (13.7), field goal percentage (.458), rebounds (5.2), steals (2.0), and minutes (29.4). Harrison's average steals per game are also the third-highest in the PacWest conference. The sophomore was also named this week's PacWest Defender of the Week after tying the program's single-game steals record (6) in their win against Holy Names on February 3. Junior guard Chris Salas has emerged as another team leader, posting the Urban Knights' second highest average: points (11.1), field goal percentage (.439), rebounds (4.4), and minutes (26.1).
 
RED STORM'S A BREWIN'
Dixie State enters Thursday's contest in fifth-place in the PacWest, but have been slowly creeping up the leaderboard, winning four out of their previous five games and seven of their last ten. The Red Storm's Trevor Hill leads his squad in points per game (16.3) assists per game (3.4), and average minutes (34.9).
 
EAGLES DOMINATING THE WEST
Concordia is currently positioned in first place in the PacWest and is in the midst of a ten-game winning streak. Their last loss came at home against Dixie State when they fell 80-81 in double overtime. The Eagles' Stephen Grosey is currently leading his team in average: rebounds (9.0), steals (2.2), and minutes (32.0). Grosey's 2.2 steals per game is also the second-highest average in the conference.
 
SEA LIONS ON THE UPSWING
Although Point Loma has lost their previous two contests, the Sea Lions have won four of their last six and are looking to gain some ground in the standings in their last seven games. PLNU's Josh Rodriguez has led the team thus far, averaging: 16.9 points, 6.8 assists, 1.8 steals, and 34.6 minutes.

ART U GETS EVEN WITH WIN OVER HOLY NAMES
Feb. 3 – Revenge exacted. When the Urban Knights (5-15, 3-11) first faced Holy Names (3-20, 2-13) on January 5, the Hawks were able to put together a come-from-behind victory. On Wednesday, it was a different story: ART U put forward a dominant defensive effort and broke several program records en route to a 66-58 victory at home.
 
HNU was out to a quick lead in the first half, scoring a three-pointer in their first possession and adding a jumper a minute later to push their advantage to 5-0. The Knights would stage an early comeback however, going on a 12-3 run over the next three and a half minutes. Their run was highlighted by senior guard Nick Cary's two back-to-back three-pointers, giving ART U a 12-10 advantage and a lead which they would not relinquish.

LOOKING AHEAD
After facing Point Loma, the Urban Knights will play their final road game against Dominican on February 20. ART U will then return home for their final home stand of the 2015-16 season with contests against Cal Baptist and Notre Dame de Namur.
