WATERBURY, Conn.-The Post University men's basketball team, welcomes Philadelphia University to the Drubner Center, for a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest. Tip-off is slated for 3 p.m., following the Post-Philadelphia women's game at 1 p.m.

The game features each of the CACC divisional leaders, as the Eagles lead the CACC North with a 5-3 conference record, while Philadelphia comes to town, leading the CACC South with a 6-0 record.

The game will be carried live on the Eagles Sports Network, as Joe Coss (play-by-play) and Dave Warren (color analyst) will call the action. The Nike Pre-Game show begins following the women's game.

Post will be looking to rebound from a 66-55 loss to Caldwell College on Wednesday evening on the road.
