HACKENSACK, N.J. -- The Fairleigh Dickinson men's basketball team (8-15, 4-5 NEC) will look to terminate a three-game Northeast Conference road losing streak when it concludes its four-game conference road stretch at Central Connecticut (6-16, 2-7 NEC) on Saturday. The contest will be nationally televised on Fox College Sports Atlantic, MSG and Comcast SportsNet New England. Tipoff at Detrick Gymnasium is slated for 11:30 a.m.

Last Time Out
The Knights were beaten on Staten Island by Wagner, 75-68, on Thursday night. The Seahawks used a 19-8 run midway through the first half and used the free throw line to their advantage to secure the victory despite FDU shooing a better percentage from the field.
Senior Sidney Sanders Jr. (Charleston, S.C./Burke) scored 16 of his game-high 24 points after halftime on 9-of-16 shooting from the field and 7-of-7 from the free throw line while dishing out a team-best five assists and recording a game-high three steals. Freshman Malachi Nix (Evanston, Ill./Niles North) came off the bench to add a career-high 11 points (5-of-6 FG), collect four rebounds and register two steals. Sophomore Xavier Harris (Philadelphia, Pa./Constitution) pulled down a team-best six rebounds to go along with seven points off the bench.
