RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk looks to snap a two-game skid and move one game above .500 (7-7) Wednesday.  

The trio of Evan Cook (17.7 ppg), Keenan Robertson (16.6 ppg) and Danny Yardemian (13.1 ppg) continue to pace the Rams' 75.7 ppg scoring. 

Robertson's 6.2 rpg anchors the blue-and-gold's 36.1 effort on the glass. Yardemian adds 5.1 rpg and Cole LeVangiepitches in 5.0 rpg.  

HAWKS HEADLINES
Hartford ended a three-game losing streak Saturday with a 62-54 win at Curry to sit 6-9 on the year.  

The twosome of Stephen Akwiwu (13.4 ppg) and Trayon Rumley (13.3 ppg) are the main factors to the Hawks' 62.2 ppg scoring. Henry Herman is also a consistent threat offensively with 9.7 ppg to his credit. 

Akwiwu tops the team on the boards as well with 7.8 rpg. Kaosi Chijikoe is right on his heels with 7.4 rpg with Beluolisah Oranye grabbing 7.1 rpg of his own.
