ON A ROLL: Gettysburg has won its last seven games, scoring an average of 63.7 points over that span. However, the defense has limited opponents to just 46.9 points per game and 32.2 shooting from the floor.

Five of the seven games have been a one possession or less margin after 10 minutes. However, the margin grows in the second quarter with Gettysburg outscoring its foes, 125-75.

LAST TIME OUT: Swarthmore returned to the win column with a 72-39 victory at Bryn Mawr on Wednesday night.

HIGHS AND LOWS: The Garnet has eclipsed the 70-point mark in two of its last three games, defeating Muhlenberg 71-41 on Jan. 15 and Bryn Mawr 72-39 this past Wednesday. Outside of those two games, Swarthmore has scored more than 60 points in a game just three times all season - and all three came in a four-game stretch between Nov. 16 and 26. In the Garnet's other three conference games since Jan. 8, Swarthmore's offense has produced an average of just 41.7 points per game. The defense has been consistent this season with no team scoring more than 68 points. The last time an opponent even cracked 60 against the Garnet was a 63-57 loss at Franklin & Marshall on Dec. 4.
