HAMILTON, N.Y. (Interstat) — The Colgate Raiders will look to solidify their position in the Patriot League standings when they host the Loyola Maryland Greyhounds in a men’s NCAA Division I basketball game Saturday at Cotterell Court. Colgate (16-12 overall) enters the contest looking to rebound from an 85-58 road loss to Boston University on Monday. The Raiders had won three of their previous four games prior to that defeat. Ben Tweedy, a key guard for Colgate, scored 13 points in the loss and has been a consistent presence, averaging over 30 minutes per game in recent weeks. Loyola Maryland (11-17) seeks to end a two-game skid after falling 87-77 to Army on Wednesday. The Greyhounds’ offense has shown flashes, led by guard Jacob Theodosiou. Theodosiou scored 15 points in 18 minutes against Army and had a 25-point outburst in a loss at Boston University on Feb. 7. His scoring punch off the bench will be crucial for a Loyola team that ranks near the bottom of the league. This matchup is a rematch of a Jan. 14 meeting in Baltimore, which Colgate won 86-80. In that game, the Raiders used a balanced attack to hold off the Greyhounds. The Raiders have been strong at home this season, boasting recent victories over Army and Boston University in Hamilton. Loyola Maryland has struggled on the road, with a 2-7 record in true away games. A victory would help Colgate maintain its push for a favorable seed in the upcoming Patriot League tournament. For Loyola Maryland, the game represents an opportunity to play spoiler and build momentum heading into the final stretch of the regular season. Following this game, Colgate will host Lafayette on Wednesday, while Loyola Maryland returns home to face Navy.
