MADISON, N.J. – On the heels of a record-breaking regular season, the Drew University men's basketball team will look to carry its momentum into the postseason when it takes on Susquehanna University on Thursday at 7 p.m. in Baldwin Gym.
 
The Rangers (22-3, 18-0 LC), who will enter the game riding a school-record 14-game winning streak, became the first men's basketball team in Landmark Conference history to go undefeated in conference play. In addition, the team earned its first-ever national ranking when it was voted No. 25 in this past week's D3hoops.com Top 25.
 
As the tournament No. 1 seed, Drew earned a first-round bye as well as homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs.
 
Susquehanna (15-11, 11-7 LC) finished fourth in the conference standings to earn the No. 4 seed in the Landmark playoffs. The River Hawks defeated fifth-seeded Moravian University 100-90 in overtime in its first-round matchup this past Tuesday.

The winner of the game will advance to Saturday's Landmark Conference championship game, which will be held at the highest remaining seed. No. 2-seeded Catholic University and No. 3 Wilkes University will meet in the other semifinal. The winner of the tournament receives an automatic berth in the NCAA Division III Championships.

The game will mark a rematch of last year's Landmark Conference semifinals, which Susquehanna captured 68-66 in Baldwin Gym.
 
The Rangers swept their season series with the River Hawks, winning 82-68 in Madison back on Jan. 8 and 83-55 in Selinsgrove this past Saturday.

Drew is making its ninth appearance in the Landmark Conference Championship tournament, including seven over the last eight years. The Rangers captured the 2021 Landmark Conference title and also reached the final in 2019 and 2022. This year marks the sixth time in the last seven years that Drew will be hosting a semifinal.
 
Under third-year Head Coach Michael McSloy, the Rangers have made their mark as a prolific offensive team and rank sixth in Division III in scoring (90.5 ppg) and fourth in 3-pointers made per game (12.6).
 
Individually, senior guard Josh Kline leads the team in scoring (14.6 ppg) and steals (2.2 spg), is second in assists (3.2 apg), and is third in rebounding (5.0 rpg).
 
Four additional Rangers are averaged double figures in scoring: senior guard Malcolm Newman (12.6 ppg), senior guard Pat Higgins (12.1 ppg), sophomore forward Matthew Zenker (11.5 ppg), and senior forward Peso Crump (10.9 ppg). Higgins is also the team leader in assists (4.3 apg) while junior forward David Musial has led the Blue and Green in rebounding (6.4 rpg). Graduate guard James Anderson leads Drew in 3-pointers made with 53.
