Clayton State Set for Holiday Weekend Special With Matchups at Lynn and No. 2/2 Nova Southeastern

MORROW, Ga. – Clayton State (2-3, 0-0 PBC) men's basketball faces a stiff challenge as they take on a pair of teams with a combined record of 6-0 and both of which are averaging better than 90 points per game as they travel to Lynn (3-0, 0-0 SSC) and No. 2/2 Nova Southeastern (3-0, 1-0 SSC) in non-conference action from November 29-30.
 
They will open at 7 p.m. at Lynn on Friday, November 29 before facing the Sharks, who are averaging 111 points per game, at 4 p.m. on Saturday, November 30.
 
Clayton State has only played one game, combined, between the two teams. That one meeting came against Lynn on December 21, 2013 in Boca Raton, Florida. It would be a game that the Fighting Knights would win 75-63. The game against NSU will be the first in program history.
 
Coverage of the games will be available on both live stats and live video with full postgame coverage on www.ClaytonStateSports.com.
