Elmira, NY -- The men's basketball team will look to snap their three-game skid when they welcome Ithaca College to town on Tuesday, January 28th for their annual Gold Rush game. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. Fans are encouraged to wear gold in support of the team. 

Can They Make it Three?
After not defeating Ithaca College for 10 years prior to the 2011-12 season, the Soaring Eagles have split each of the last four meetings with the Bombers. The two wins have both come at Speidel Gymnasium, making Tuesday's matchup a chance for three home victories over Ithaca in a row.

Second Half Burst
The Soaring Eagles scored 37 points on 52 percent shooting from the floor in the second half against the Cardinals as the men turned a 14-point game into a three point game with just under four minutes to play. Unfortunately, the men were unable to complete the comeback. It is the fifth game this season that EC has outscored their opponent in the second half, with the Purple and Gold holding a 3-2 record in those games.

Scoring Balance
For the second game in a row, and the third time this season, at least four EC players turned in a double-digit scoring performance. The Soaring Eagles won the first instance, against Fredonia State, but have suffered close losses to Hamilton College and St. John Fisher College in the last two.

Top-20 Shooter
Josh Keys '14 continues doing what he does best, knocking down three point shots. On the season, Keys is averaging 3.1 made three-pointers per game, placing him 19th in the nation in that category.

No. 1 in Sight
Josh Keys '14 is also closing the gap between him and Ryan Bennett '01 for the leader on EC's all-time three-pointers made list. After three more successful three-point attempts against the Cardinals, Keys is only 17 made threes from tying Bennett and 18 from standing alone at the top.
