THE BLOOMSBURG-CHEYNEY SERIES
Cheyney leads, 67-64
The long history between schools has been a tight one with the Wolves holding a narrow three-game edge all-time. The squads split the season series last year with each team defending its home court. The Huskies have not lost to Cheyney at home since dropping an 83-81 nail-biter on Feb. 19, 2011.

WHEN LAST WE MET
Bloomsburg scored an 80-64 win over Cheyney at Nelson Field House on Feb. 9, 2013. It was a memorable night for forward Dontahe Jordan (Williamsport/Williamsport) as he reached 1,000 points for his BU career with a double-double of 28 points and 10 rebounds, slamming home a breakaway dunk for his 1,000th career point at the 9:19 mark of the second half. Lorenzo Christmas (Norristown/Norristown) registered 29 points and the duo combined to shoot 24-of-27 from the free throw line. The 57 combined points marked the highest output for the Bloomsburg duo dating all the way back to the 2002-03 season.

STRIVE FOR FIVE
The Huskies enter Wednesday's game riding a four-game winning streak to move to 4-1 on the season. Bloomsburg will attempt to win a fifth consecutive game for the first time since winning seven straight between Nov. 16-Dec. 4, 2011.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY
Dontahe Jordan (Williamsport/Williamsport) has been a strong scoring threat this season, ranking second in the conference in points at 20.0 ppg, trailing only Edinboro's Jonny Marsh (21.2 ppg). Jordan has been just as strong defensively – he leads the PSAC in steals thus far with 15 (3.0 spg).

SAINTILUS SHINES
Junior forward Alssene Saintilus (Williamstown, NJ/Williamstown) had his finest game as a Husky at Lock Haven on Nov. 23, taking over the second half as Bloomsburg rallied from an early deficit to score a 62-57 win. Saintilus shot a perfect 7-of-7 from the floor on his way to 16 points and six rebounds off the bench. Twelve of his 16 points came during the second half and his layup with 3:40 remaining gave the Huskies an advantage they never relinquished.
