LAST TIMEOUT
Suffolk men's basketball came back from a 14-point deficit to make things interesting, but could not complete the comeback as it fell to Salve Regina, 81-76, Saturday afternoon at the Rodgers Recreation Center.

RAMS RUNDOWN
With the setback at Salve Regina, Suffolk moved to 3-2 on the year.  

The Rams' 80.4 ppg offense sees a pair averaging double figures in Nate Hale (14.8 ppg) and William Rowe (11.2 ppg). Brendan Mulson (9.8 ppg), Thomas Duffy (8.8 ppg), Alex Jacovides (8.4 ppg) and Max Bonney-Liles (8.0 ppg) are also consistent contributors offensively. 

Mulson anchors the blue-and-gold's 32.2 rpg effort as the junior grabs 6.0 rpg himself. Bonney-Liles and Hale each pull down 3.6 rpg. 

LIONS LOOK
Emerson sits .500 (3-3) on the year and heads into Tuesday's tangle following a 99-82 triumph at Pine Manor last Tuesday, Nov. 26.  

The Lions' 86.0 ppg has a quartet producing double digits led by Nate Martin's 19.2 ppg. Zach Waterhouse (15.8 ppg), Jack O'Connor (15.7 ppg) and Jarred Houston (11.2) round out the foursome in double figures.  

O'Connor and Houston provide the one-two punch on the glass. The former brings down 8.0 rpg with the latter chipping in 7.3 rpg.
