Men’s Basketball Returns to Action Tonight at Utica

MARCY, N.Y. – The SUNYIT Men's Basketball Team (4-2, 2-1 NEAC) return to action tonight after a three-week break for the holidays, and will square off against the Pioneers of Utica College in an afternoon matchup slated for 2:00 pm.

The crosstown rivals met once already this season, a 90-80 SUNYIT win at the Campus Center Gym on December 1st. Both teams shot well in that contest, but the Wildcats were slightly better at 58% from the floor and an impressive 10 of 20 from behind the arc.

Both teams will probably look to contain the other's point guard, as Pioneer floor general Aaron Nevins led his team with 21 points in the December 1st game, while Maverick Hodge led all scorers with 23 points for the Wildcats in that contest.

Today's game will be broadcast live in Utica on ESPN 99.1 FM, and can also be found at espnur.com
