Lafayette Leopards (6-10, 1-4 Patriot League)
• The Leopards are looking to snap a three-game losing skid. Lafayette's lone League win came against Holy Cross on January, when the Leopards won 73-63 at home.
• Lafayette leads the League in rebounding, grabbing 41.6 per game. The Leopards are third in offensive rebounds (14.1 pg) and second in defensive rebounds (27.6 pg).

Series History
• Lafayette pulled ahead by one in the all-time series, 8-7, after sweeping last season's meetings. 
• Prior to last year, the Greyhounds had won four-straight meetings, sweeping both the 2015-16 and 2016-17 meetings.
• Loyola won the inaugural meeting, 73-50, during the 1977-78 season, but the two squads didn't meet again until 1994. Loyola won that meeting and then the next two, in 1995 and 2003. 
• The two didn't meet again until Loyola joined the Patriot League for the 2013-14 season. Lafayette won the first four League meetings before Loyola won those four-straight in 2016 and 2017. 

Up Next
• Loyola remains home to host Bucknell on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
