Men's basketball looks to finish regular season strong, will honor seniors against Limestone

Harrogate, TN - As winners of six of their last seven games, the Lincoln Memorial Railsplitters are seeking to finish the regular season strong on Senior Day against the visiting Limestone Saints. The Railsplitters took an 83-69 decision over the Saints earlier this season in Gaffney, SC. Lincoln Memorial is currently in a three-way tie with Wingate and Catawba for the top spot in the South Atlantic Conference ahead of the conference tournament in Rock Hill, SC next week. On the season, Lincoln Memorial has earned a 21-7 overall record, including a 15-4 mark in conference play.

Lincoln Memorial is led in scoring by freshman Wes Enis, averaging 18.0 points and 3.0 rebounds per game since joining the team in early January. Me'Kell Burries follows with an average of 16.0 points and 3.3 rebounds per game. Chase Rankin averages a very well-balanced stat line, scoring an average of 14.0 points per game to go along with 5.0 rebounds per game and 5.4 assists per game. Senior forward Martez Brown continues to lead not only the conference, but the nation, in rebounding, field goal percentage, and double-doubles. Brown was named to the Bevo Francis Award Top 50 Watch List for the best player in small college basketball earlier this season. The top 25 will be released on March 15th. He is averaging 13.8 points and an astonishing 14.4 rebounds per game.

Tip-off between the Railsplitters and Saints is slated for 4:00 PM on Saturday in Harrogate.
