IUP: Game Notes | Game Preview | Roster | Season Statistics | ScheduleThe Game Stories• The Fighting Scots enter Wednesday's matchup with 16th-ranked Indiana (Pa.) following a 66-48 defeat at the hands of first-place Gannon on Saturday night. With the loss, Edinboro has now dropped three of its last four contests. The Crimson Hawks have won seven consecutive and sit second in the PSAC Western Division standings with an 8-2 ledger in conference play. IUP's last loss also came to Gannon on December 6. • Edinboro's Henri Wade-Chatman will look to rebound from a frustrating effort against Gannon, as the junior guard scored a season-low four points on 2-of-17 shooting. Wade-Chatman came into the contest as the PSAC's leading scorer and had scored in double-figures in all 14 games this season and in 21 of 22 contests dating back to last season. He now ranks second in the conference in scoring at 19.5 points per game and scored a career-high 32 points in the Fighting Scots win over Lock Haven last Wednesday. He averaged 18.5 points per game in two contests against IUP last season.
• Jaymon Mason paces the PSAC in free throw percentage, shooting 88.2 percent from the charity stripe, while Sam Sealy-James ranks fifth in the conference with 1.9 blocked shots per game. Tommy Scales sits 11th in the league in rebounding at 6.7 rebounds per game, and Casey Baker is 15th in the PSAC in rebounding at 6.5 boards per contest.
