KENNESAW, Ga. – After holding off ninth-seed Queens' upset bid in Tuesday's ASUN Men's Basketball Quarterfinals, a 67-66 victory by top-seed Kennesaw State, the Owls look to build on their three-game win streak as they welcome fifth-seed Lipscomb to the Convocation Center for a semifinal battle on Thursday night. The game will tip off at 7 p.m. and will be streamed live on ESPN+.

 A FEW NOTES
♦ KSU is looking to advance to its first-ever conference championship game as a Division I program. This is the Owls' third-ever appearance in the ASUN Semifinal round, along with the 2010 and 2017 tournaments.
♦ Lipscomb also brings a three-game win streak into Thursday night, following three road wins in the state of Florida. Up until that point, the Bison had posted just four wins all year on the road.
♦ In the only meeting between the two teams this year, the Owls jumped out to an 11-point halftime lead and never looked back on the way to an 85-72 victory. KSU shot 48.2% in the game against one of the top FG% defensives in the ASUN, including 51.9% in the second half.
♦ KSU has shown it's learned how to finish games this season, as the Owls are 6-3 in one-possession games after having gone 1-10 in the previous three years combined.
♦ The Owls finished in a tie at the top of the standings with Liberty and earned the conference's No. 1 seed thanks to their win over the Flames on Feb. 16. That also clinched the first-ever national postseason tournament appearance for the Owls, as if they do not win the ASUN tournament and advance to the NCAA Tournament, they will receive an auto-bid to the NIT.
