KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State men's basketball, riding a four-game win streak, the longest in four seasons, look for a third straight road win Saturday at Lipscomb in Nashville. The game, which tips off at 2:15 pm (ET), will be streamed live on ESPN+.

A FEW NOTES
♦ Not only are the Owls 3-0 in conference play for the first-time ever, this is the first time in the school's Division I history that KSU has been at least .500 past Christmas.
♦ A win over Lipscomb would mean the first five-game win streak in 12 years, as well as that long since the last three-game road win streak. However, recent history has not been on the Owls' side, as they have lost 11 straight to the Bisons, including the past seven in Nashville. The last victory for KSU in Allen Arena was 73-57 on Feb. 25, 2016.
♦ The returning experience from last season is paying off on the offensive side, as the Owls' 77.4 ppg average is well ahead of the current school record of 75.0 ppg, set in the 2016-17 season.
♦ The Owls are shinning just as much on defense. In conference games only, KSU is currently first in scoring defense (54.0 ppg), field goal defense (29.6%), steals (10.7 spg) and turnover margin (+7.0).
♦ KSU has played a challenging non-conference schedule through the first 16 games, which currently ranks as the 27th-toughest non-conference schedule in the nation. The Owls' eight losses have come at the hands of Iowa State, Creighton, Belmont, Wake Forest, Mercer, Wofford, Samford and Nebraska. Those eight schools have a combined 94-53 record (through Jan. 21), while ISU has moved into the Top-25 rankings at 15th.
