LAST TIME OUT

RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk dipped to .500 (2-2) on the season after falling in a pair of outings at the Babson Invitational.
The Rams' 79.8 ppg offense is powered by Thomas Duffy's 19.3 ppg output. The junior is joined in double figure scoring by sophomore Brendan Mulson (13.5 ppg) and senior Michael Hagopian (10.0 ppg).
Mulson is the main threat on the glass with a team-best 6.0 rpg to his credit with rookie Connor Byrne and Duffy each contributing 4.3 ppg to Suffolk's 36.3 rpg effort.
LIONS LOOK
Emerson wrapped up action before the Thanksgiving holiday with a 91-84 victory over Pine Manor to move to 2-3 on the season.
Jack O'Connor's 24.7 ppg anchors a Lions' offense which sees a trio of players provide double digits in scoring for a team 81.0 ppg average. Geoffrey Gray and Zach Waterhouse complete the threesome with 19.2 ppg and 16.6 ppg, respectively.
Gray is the go-to on the boards with 9.4 pg. The senior point guard receives help on the glass from Jarred Houston (6.6 rpg) and O'Connor (4.3 rpg).
INSIDE THE SERIES
- Suffolk and Emerson will meet for the 38th time Tuesday night.
