KNIGHTS OF KNOTE
Senior forward Chris Salas has led the team all season in points per game and is currently averaging 10.3. The Yorba Linda, Calif. native also averages the most rebounds (5.9) and minutes (29.1) for Academy of Art. Freshman forward Luka Radovic is not far behind Salas in points per game, averaging 8.7 and leads the team with an average 1.4 blocks per contest (third-highest in the PacWest). Junior guard Uchenna Okeneme has been a force on defense as well with 1.6 steals per game (tied for 7th in conference).
 
CHAMINADE 5TH IN CONFERENCE
The Silverswords have won four of their last six games including recently topping Point Loma and Azusa Pacific.  With only three games left in the season for the Silverswords, they will play all three at home, hosting ART U, Point Loma, and No. 3 Hawaii Pacific. Rohndell Goodwin is the top scorer for the Chaminade, leading the team with 20.8 points per game which is the third-highest mark in the PacWest.  
 
SHARKS RANKED NO. 3
Hawaii Pacific has been on a tear as of late, winning nine of their last ten games including defeating No. 7 California Baptist 81-67. Their efforts have helped them tie the Lancers for first place in the PacWest and they have already clinched a berth into the conference championships in Irvine, Calif. The Sharks lead the PacWest with 88.5 points per game, a .500 field goal percentage, and a .397 field goal percentage from beyond the 3-point line. Chauncey Orr is tied for the fourth-most average points in the conference with 18.3, but is one of three Sharks to average double digit points per game.
 
SEASIDERS LOOKING FOR A "W"
BYU-Hawaii is currently in the midst of a four-game losing streak and have dropped six of their previous seven contests. Their last win came against Holy names on January 21, and they are currently ranked 13th in the PacWest. Tanner Nelson is the Seasiders' leading scorer with 18.3 points per game (tied for fourth in the conference) while also averaging 4.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals.  
 
EAGLES ON A HOT STREAK
While still in the process of becoming fully-fledged PacWest and NCAA Division II members, Concordia's men's basketball team has been proving their dominance all the while. The Eagles are ranked fourth in the conference with a 10-5 record while winning five of their last six games. Their only loss during that period was a heartbreaker against No.3 Hawaii Pacific with a final score of 87-83. Three players average double-digit points per game with Brian Chambers at the top (13.1). Chambers also leads the team with a PacWest-best 2.4 steals per game.

PREVIOUS GAME: FINAL SECOND SHOT PROPELS ART U TO VICTORY
Feb. 6 - Two evenly-played halves were no comparison to the dramatic finish to which the fans inside of Walter Gleason Gym would bare witness. A dominant second half from Academy of Art (6-14, 5-9 PacWest) ended a three-game, road winless streak and cemented a 61-59 victory for the Urban Knights.

LOOKING AHEAD
After facing Concordia, Academy of Art will play their final two games of the season at home against UH Hilo and Azusa Pacific.
