COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF
The Patriots return home to the Burg Center after defeating Arkansas-Fort Smith in overtime for their fourth straight victory in the last five games. DBU now has the nation's longest winning streak in the NCAA at 35 games.

Last time out, Chandler Jacobs tied a career-high with 33 points as DBU held off a Lion charge that cut the lead to as little as 10 in the second half.

DBU built a 26-point lead shortly before halftime, but the Patriots would need the help of a 20-of-21 free throw effort in the second half to overcome a 61-point outburst by UAFS facilitated by an intense full-court press.

Jacobs' 33 points were a game-high. JT Harris contributed 16 points, while Carter Brown added 12, and Jonathyn Washington put up 10.
