MORROW, Ga. – Clayton State (8-16, 5-13 PBC) men's basketball wraps up three games in five days as they host North Georgia (10-14, 5-13 PBC) on Wednesday, February 20. Game time is set for approximately 7:30 p.m. at The Loch following the women's contest.

The all-time series against North Georgia is deadlocked at 20-20 and dates back to the first season of basketball in 1990-91. That first meeting came on January 30, 1991 at The Loch. Following three losses to start the series, Clayton State won seven straight from February 15, 1992 through February 6, 1995 before dropping 15 of the next 17 meetings through February 11, 2012.
 
Since then the Lakers have won 11 of the last 13, including eight straight from January 10, 2015. Most recently the Nighthawks put an end to that streak with an 80-65 victory in Dahlonega on January 23, 2019.
