PREVIEW: D&E Men Welcome WV State for Saturday Showdown

THE OPENING TIP
Davis & Elkins looks to close out the last few games of the 2019-20 season on a high note, hosting consecutive home games, beginning with Saturday's matchup with West Virginia State for Senior Day at 4:00 PM. The Senators could not string together enough stops in a tough 94-88 road loss at Charleston (W. Va.) last time out, while WV State edged West Virginia Wesleyan 97-87 on Thursday. 

Seniors Donte Doleman, Erkam Kiris and Tyler Twyman, as well as student manager Petar Vesic will be recognized prior to tip-off at the McDonnell Center.
