Posted: Feb 20, 2020

Men's Basketball will close out their regular season on Saturday as they host #21 Dyersburg State at 4:00 ET. It will also be Sophomore Day, with the Cougars honoring Demonte Person, Jakobey Hitchens, Jaquez Hicks, and Kerry Pratt just prior to tip-off.

The Cougars were last in action on Wednesday, when they fell in a tight, dramatic game at Chattanooga State 80-75. Their record now sits at 9-17 overall and 6-11 in the TCCAA, good for the ninth spot in the conference. Dyersburg State, at 23-3 with a 14-3 conference mark, holds the TCCAA's top spot. They last played on Wednesday, when they inched out a narrow 75-74 victory over Jackson State.

The two teams met earlier in the season, with the Eagles claiming the victory back on January 18. Historically, however, Cleveland State holds a 28-3 edge over Dyersburg State in the season series since 2002.
