The Game Story
The Edinboro University men's basketball team travels to California (Pa.) on Wednesday to wrap up the regular season. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The Fighting Scots have already secured a first round playoff game, and can clinch the third seed in the PSAC West with a win or a loss by Pitt-Johnstown. The Scots are currently third in the Western Division at 14-10 and 13-8 in the PSAC, while the Vulcans are 7-20 and 4-17, respectively.

A win Wednesday will give the Fighting Scots their first season sweep of Cal since 2004-05. Edinboro looks to rebound after a last-second 76-74 loss to Seton Hill on Saturday. Senior guard Henri Wade-Chatman tied his career high with 32 points. He connected on 5-of-9 3-pointers, with his last 3-pointer tying the game at 74 with 14.9 seconds remaining. On SHU's ensuing possession, Kameron Taylor, who used a buzzer-beating shot to beat the Scots two years ago, nailed the game-winning jumper with one second to go.

California (Pa.) looks to end a nine-game losing streak, which started with their 89-79 loss to Edinboro in their first meeting on January 20. The Boro's Henri Wade-Chatman and Cal's Richard Smith tied a game-high with 24 points apiece. Jaymon Mason tallied 19 points, a career-high nine assists, and six rebounds, while Tommy Scales added 14 points.

On March 26, 2013, Cleary was officially introduced as Edinboro's tenth head coach after Walcavich announced his retirement. Cleary's first season ended with a 10-16 record. Edinboro lost three games to nationally-ranked teams and suffered a number of close losses, including two overtime losses and two defeats at the buzzer. Season number two saw the Fighting Scots make the PSAC playoffs as the number five seed after being picked to finish eighth in the PSAC coaches' poll.

Bill Brown enters his final game as Cal's head coach amassing a record of 365-210 in 20 years to become the winningest coach in program history.

They advanced to the Elite Eight in 2008. Before landing at Cal U, Brown served as head coach for eight seasons at Kenyon, a NCAA Division III program in Columbus, Ohio. He started his career as a head coach at Sacramento State and coached the Hornets for two seasons during the program's transition to NCAA Division I. He has held assistant coaching positions at Tennessee, Arkansas, Kent State, and his alma mater Ohio, where he was a three-year starter and a two-time, all-conference selection on the Bobcats basketball squad.
