Big Sky Conference standings
GAME PREVIEW
• Sacramento State (9-10, 3-7) will play for the first time in a week when it travels to Northern Colorado (15-8, 9-3) for a Saturday matinee. The two teams will tip off at the Bank of Colorado Arena at 1:35 p.m. PST.
• The Hornets have split their last six games, including a 75-65 loss at Weber State in their most recent contest on Feb. 2.
• Sacramento State's 3-7 conference record is a little misleading as five of the team's 10 league games have been decided by five points or less. Unfortunately for the Hornets, the team is 1-4 in those close outcomes.
• At the midway point of the conference season, the Hornets currently sit in 10th place in the 11-team Big Sky, but are just two games back of sixth place.
• With 10 games remaining in the regular season, Sacramento State has already surpassed its win total from all of last year (7-25 overall, 4-14 in the Big Sky).
• All 11 Big Sky teams are playing a 20-game conference schedule this year, and Saturday's game will mark the second meeting between the Hornets and Bears.
• In the teams' first meeting, Northern Colorado used a 12-2 run over the final 2:30 to beat the Hornets, 70-65, at the Nest on Dec. 29.
• Sacramento State is 3-7 on the road this season, and 2-4 in Big Sky road games. Last week, the Hornets played a pair of road games, winning at Idaho State, 74-58, before falling at Weber State, 75-65. Prior to last week's games, Sacramento State had seen four of its previous five games decided by five points or less.
• By the time Saturday's game ends, Sacramento State will have played seven of its first 11 conference games on the road. The schedule will get a lot more home friendly next week as the team will play six of its final nine games inside the Nest.
• Northern Colorado has won four of its last five games, including an 80-62 home win over Portland State on Thursday. The Beats are 7-2 at home, including 4-2 in league.
• The Bears' 9-3 conference record is good for second place in the 11-team Big Sky, just a half game back of Montana (9-2).
• Saturday's game will be the first Sacramento State has played in Greeley since a 70-67 loss in the regular season finale of the 2016-17 season.
• The Hornets are 7-16 all-time against Northern Colorado, including a 2-9 record in Greeley. Sacramento State has dropped five straight road games against the Bears with the last win in Greeley coming in a 73-62 victory during the 2011-12 season.
