KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State men's basketball closes out the regular season on Saturday with a road contest at Liberty in Lynchburg, Va., in Liberty Arena. The game tips off at 1:00 p.m. and will be streamed live on ESPN+.
 
A FEW NOTES
♦ The Owls are looking to build on the momentum of their Senior Night victory on Wednesday as they topped Stetson 75-71 to claim a season sweep of the Hatters, the first sweep for KSU in ASUN play since 2017-18.
♦ It's going to be a tough challenge for Kennesaw State, as not only is Liberty in first place in the East division and 8-0 all-time against the Owls, it's also Senior Day for two Flames. That includes the conference's leading scorer in Darius McGhee, who ranks second in the nation in scoring at 23.9 ppg.
♦ KSU meanwhile is paced by a balanced scoring attack, with seven players averaging at least six points each per contest.
♦ In the first meeting between the two this season, Liberty used an 18-4 run midway through the first half to pull away on the way to a 65-50 victory in Kennesaw.
♦ The Owls have already claimed the most wins (12) and the most ASUN victories in a season (seven) since the 2016-17 season (14-18, 7-7 ASUN).
♦ The returning experience from last season is paying off on the offensive side for KSU, as the Owls' 74.2 ppg average is just behind the current school record of 75.0 ppg, set in the 2016-17 season.
♦ The Owls will return to Kennesaw for their next game, opening up against either Eastern Kentucky or Lipscomb in the first round of the ASUN Tournament on Tuesday, March 1.
