ABOUT CHEYNEY
The Wolves have scuffled this season and are looking to snap a 16-game losing streak and find their first PSAC victory of the campaign. Cheyney's only win of the year came on Nov. 16, 69-63, vs. St. Augustine's.

Cheyney ranks 15th in the PSAC in offense at just 69.4 points per game and has struggled mightily on the defensive end, ranking last while allowing 82.1 points per contest.

Cheyney often lives on the perimeter - the Wolves lead the PSAC in 3-pointers made (167), despite ranking just 10th in percentage (33.8%). The 494 3-point attempts by the Wolves are also the most in the conference (only Millersville has also attempted 450+ 3's this year).

A bright spot for the Wolves is freshman guard Kevin Larkin, who has taken PSAC East Freshman of the Week honors three times this year while leading the team at 18.0 points per game.  

LAST MEETING / SERIES HISTORY

In all, the Huskies have won seven of the past 10 games against Cheyney including three straight home wins.
