The Plot: The College of Saint Rose is aiming to produce its fifth win at home, while Saint Anselm is going after its third straight victory.
 
Coaches vs. Cancer: Today marks the Golden Knights annual Coaches vs. Cancer game. All gate receipts and contributions from today's game will be donated towards the fight against cancer.
 
Last Time Out: Host Saint Michael's closed out a back and forth affair by scoring 21 of the game's final 28 points to upend Saint Rose 81-68 Wednesday evening. Junior forward Chris Dorgler filled the box score with 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists to pace Saint Rose. Furthermore, freshman center Sam Eckstrom finished 8-for-10 from the floor to tie his season high of 16 points in 23 minutes off the bench, while freshman forward Jack Jones added 14 points. Freshman guard Jamaal Greenwood handed out a season-best seven assists with only one turnover.
 
Last Meeting: A late Saint Rose rally fell just short in an 80-75 setback in Manchester, NH on January 4 of last year. The Golden Knights bounced back from a 10 point deficit midway through the second half to afford themselves a chance to tie it at the end, but the Hawks were able to hold on. A Dan Mundweiler jumper followed by a free throw from Saint Anselm senior forward Chris Santo made it a three-point affair, 78-75, with 10 ticks left. Isaiah Cosbert then could not get his 3-pointer to fall in the waning moments. Two perfunctory foul shots by Dino Mallios at the other end accounted for the final margin. Dominykas Milka recorded career-highs of 33 points and 19 rebounds to lead Saint Rose. Santo and senior guard Rob Mabrey tossed in 20 and 18 points respectively to pace four Hawks in double figures.
