Game Notes:
 
Last time out: Junior Luke Glass had a career-high 33 points last time against Scranton but no three points were more important than the three-pointer he hit with 1.8 seconds left in the game. The 6-1 guard broke a 69-69 tie with a step-back three-pointer en route the first victory in Scranton since 1997. The win snapped a 15-game losing streak at the Long Center.


Down to the Wire: The Rangers and Royals last two games have come down to the final possession. Last season in Baldwin Gym, Asmar Capers converted a layup with three seconds remaining to give the Rangers a 76-75 victory back on February 2, 2012.


National Ranks: In the latest national rankings, the Rangers are 20th in all of Division III with 8.7 three-point field goals made per game. Drew has made a total of 182 treys this season as a team which is already the 5th most in school history with four games to play.
 
Glass Effect: Luke Glass has propelled himself to third amongst the Landmark Conference scoring leaders over the past month. He is averaging 16.8 points per game and has led the Rangers points in seven of the last nine games.

Magic Number: Drew is 6-2 when scoring 70 or more points. The only two losses when scoring over 70 came against FDU in overtime and on Saturday against #11 Catholic.
