The Plot: The College of Saint Rose is aiming to win its third straight, while Pace is looking to snap an eight-game skid.
 
The Series: Saint Rose 31-7 | First Meeting, 1991-92: The Golden Knights have faced the Setters more than any other team in their history. Saint Rose has won three of the last four encounters after dropping the previous three.
 
Last Time Out: Saint Rose held host New Haven to 29 points below its season scoring average and turned the ball over a mere six times to chalk up a 47-36 victory on Saturday. Freshman guard Jamaal Greenwood led Saint Rose in scoring for the second straight game with 13 points while freshman forward Jack Jones and junior forward Chris Dorgler tossed in 10 apiece. Dorgler also had nine rebounds and four assists. The Golden Knights led wire to wire although the Chargers were within six, 40-34, with five minutes remaining. However, freshman center Sam Eckstrom finished inside that pushed the lead back to eight, 42-34, with 4:29 left. Saint Rose then forced New Haven to come up empty on its next three trips up the floor and subsequently went 5-for-7 from the foul line throughout the final 1:19 to seal the victory.
 
Last Meeting: Saint Rose never trailed en route to a 61-43 victory in its league opener back on November 19 in Pleasantville. The Golden Knights limited the Setters to 24.6 percent (15-for-61) shooting from the floor, including 19.4 percent (7-for-36) from the arc. Dorgler recorded 11 rebounds and a career-best seven assists, in addition to 11 points, to spearhead the Golden Knights. Also, Eckstrom scored a team-high 13 points and hauled in six boards while junior guard Max Weaver contributed eight points and a then career-best nine rebounds. Freshman guard Evan Gordinier scored 15 points in 28 minutes off the bench and junior guard Shelton Mitchell had 14 points and seven boards to lead the Setters.
