MORROW, Ga. – In the wide open Peach Belt Conference West Division, Clayton State (12-11, 7-7 PBC) looks to anchor their postseason push with a critical men's basketball game at Columbus State (16-6, 9-6 PBC) on Wednesday, February 8. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m. in Columbus, Georgia following the conclusion of the women's contest.
 
The Lakers trail the all-time series 30-13 dating back to the first meeting on February 17, 1996. Columbus State won the first five meetings through February 23, 1998 before Clayton State won four in a row through February 9, 2000. The Cougars had won a series high seven straight and 10 of the last 11 since February 16, 2011 before an 86-79 Laker victory on January 21 stopped that streak.
 
In addition to looking to boost their hopes of reaching the PBC Tournament, Clayton State is seeking their first season sweep of the Cougars since the 1999-2000 season. That year they notched a 68-64 decision at The Loch on January 12, 2000 and an 80-70 victory in Columbus on February 9. The only other season sweep came the year before in 1998-99.
