ARLINGTON, Texas – Two of the hottest teams in the Southland Conference will face off on Wednesday when the Southeastern Louisiana University men's basketball team travels to face league rival UT Arlington in a 7 p.m. contest at Texas Hall.

The game can be heard in the Hammond area on KSLU-FM (90.9) and on the internet at www.LionSports.net.

Southeastern (14-9, 6-4 SLC), which will host East Division leader Stephen F. Austin on Saturday, has won four of its last five contests in league play after a 76-63 win over Nicholls State last week. The Lions opened their current five-game streak with a win over Central Arkansas before a road win at Nicholls State and a homecourt triumph over Texas State.

The Lions look to build momentum as they head into the final month of the regular-season, beginning with their contest with UTA (13-10, 5-5 SLC). The Mavs had a five-game winning streak snapped on Saturday in a 63-61 loss at UTSA. The Mavs opened their five-game stretch with a non-conference win over Houston Baptist before earning victories over Texas State, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Northwestern State and McNeese State.

Patrick Sullivan leads Southeastern in scoring at 15.5 points per game followed by Trent Hutchin (10.4), Gary Dixon (7.9), Brandon Fortenberry (7.7) and Rodney Jones (7.2). The Lions average 73.2 points per game while allowing 65.3.

UTA is led by Marquez Haynes, the Southland's top scorer at 23.6 points per game. Haynes also averages 4.4 rebounds per game and shoots 42 percent from behind the 3-point line.
