Syracuse, N.Y. – The Le Moyne College men's basketball team (13-11, 10-6 NE10) will take on the Assumption University Greyhounds (10-12, 6-9 NE10) on Tuesday night inside the Le Moyne Events Center.

The matchup is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and will take place after the Le Moyne and Assumption women's game, which tips off on Ted Grant Court at 5:30 p.m.

Assumption and Le Moyne played for the first time this season on December 11 in Worcester, and the Dolphins came away with a 69-62 conference victory.

The Dolphins, who are currently on a four-game conference win streak, will finish a three-game homestand on Tuesday against the Greyhounds before playing their next two NE10 games on the road.

Senior forward Xavier Wilson (Spring Valley, N.Y./Archbishop Stepinac/The Hotchkiss School/Central Connecticut State) scored a career-high 24 points, while junior forward Luke Sutherland (Syracuse, N.Y./West Genesee/Siena/Bryant) tallied a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds during Le Moyne's 88-82 home win over Adelphi (10-14, 4-12 NE10) on February 1. Le Moyne's 88 points against the Panthers is the most that they have scored against a conference opponent this season, and they reached that total with the help of a season-high 14 three pointers.

The Dolphins avenged a November loss to Franklin Pierce (14-8, 9-6 NE10) on Saturday by defeating the Ravens 84-81 in Syracuse.

Wilson tallied 18 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals during Le Moyne's most recent win over FPU, while graduate guard Isaiah Salter (Charlotte, N.C./Central Cabarrus/American International/Adelphi) recorded 17 points and six assists against the Ravens.
