The Lakers lead the all-time series 20-14, dating back to the first meeting on January 31, 1998. In the history of the series, Clayton State held a nine-game win streak from January 15, 2005, through March 15, 2008, which is the longest between the two teams.
 
Clayton State won five of six meetings between March 3, 2012 and December 17, 2015 but the Bearcats have taken the last five. That includes a 92-71 decision on January 4, 2017, a 97-60 victory in the PBC Quarterfinals on March 4, 2017, 93-59 on December 19, 2017 and the most recent victory of 83-56 on January 15, 2018 at The Loch.
 
In the Peach Belt Conference Tournament, the teams have met six times with Clayton State holding a 4-2 advantage. Four of those came in the semifinals and the last three were all at Columbus State.

The first four meetings all went the Lakers way, beginning with a 74-68 decision in the semis at Augusta State on March 5, 2005.

Two years later on March 3, 2012, the Laker's defeated the Bearcats No. 23 ranked team by a score of 71-63 at Columbus State.
