MORROW, Ga. – Clayton State (3-15, 1-10 PBC) men's basketball will face Peach Belt Conference leading UNC Pembroke (15-4, 9-2 PBC) as they continue a three game homestand at The Loch on Saturday, February 1. Game time is set for approximately 3:30 p.m. following the women's contest.
 
The Lakers are an impressive 22-11 all-time against the Braves dating back to the first meeting on January 11, 1998. After dropping two of the first three meetings, Clayton State has dominated the series, going 21-9. That included a 12-game win streak from February, 17, 2001 through December 1, 2007.
 
Following a three-game win streak, highlighted by a 69-66 win in Pembroke on January 19, 2015 against the No. 14/15 team in the country, UNCP snapped that stretch with an 81-74 decision at home on December 17, 2016.
 
They would make it two in a row with an 85-65 decision on January 20, 2018 on that same court before the Lakers notched an 83-73 victory over a No. 18/24 Braves squad on February 17, 2018 in Morrow. UNCP has taken the last four meetings, however, claiming the 2018 PBC Tournament Championship with a 70-60 victory on March 4, 2018 and an 88-80 overtime escape on January 26, 2019, both of which came at The Loch.
 
UNC Pembroke posted a 122-96 decision on January 23, 2019 and most recently notched a 98-74 victory on December 19, 2019. Both of those games were in Pembroke.
