LAST TIME OUT

The Wildcats are coming off three games in five days in which they went 1-2. The team split their weekend series at Ferris State, taking game one before dropping a tough fight to conclude the regular season series. 

NMU then returned home to host Michigan Tech on Tuesday where, after holding the Huskies close throughout, ultimately fell to their Upper Peninsula foe, 61-52. 

NMU VERSUS LAKE SUPERIOR STATE

NMU is 65-42 all-time against the Lakers, including a series split in their most recent meetings during the 2019-20 season. 

Last season, the men posted an impressive 65-40 win over the Upper Peninsula rival at home before losing their road battle in Sault Ste. Marie later in the season.
