HILLSDALE GAME STORYLINES

The Wayne State University men's basketball team has won three straight league games to move into second place in the GLIAC South Division. The Warriors can finish anywhere from second to fourth in the division, but can clinch a home playoff game with a victory Saturday at Hillsdale.

Even with a loss, WSU can host if Mercyhurst falls Saturday at Gannon. The Warriors' opponent on Feb. 27 will be either Ashland or Mercyhurst.

Kris Krzyminski set the WSU single-season record for three-pointers made last Saturday (81) eclipsing Charles LeSure's 1999-2000 mark of 77, despite ranking only sixth in three-point field goals attempted in a year.
