Misericordia, 15-10, is the defending MAC Freedom champion and is making its seventh consecutive appearance in the MAC Freedom Tournament.

The Cougars of rookie head coach Willie Chandler are seeded second and split two regular season meetings with third-seeded Delaware Valley. MU defeated the Aggies in last year's MAC Freedom title game.

Misericordia has four straight games and six of their last seven, including a 79-78 win at Delaware Valley two weeks ago.

"Our goal from the beginning of the season was to compete for a MAC Freedom championship," said Chandler. "It's exciting to have an opportunity to open the playoffs on our own floor."

The game features the third-highest scoring offense in the MAC Freedom against the top scoring defense. Misericordia averaged 78.1 points per game while Delaware Valley allowed just 66 points per game.

On the other end of the floor, the Aggies are sixth with 75.2 ppg while the Cougars are fifth in scoring defense at 75.1.

First year Misericordia guard Jason Kenny is fourth in the MAC Freedom in scoring with 18.4 ppg while junior Griffin Sponaugle is 11^th with 13.2 ppg.

Sponaugle led the league in three-point percentage (43.5%) while Kenny was third (42.1%).

Erik Kerns adds 10.1 ppg and is sixth in the league with 7.2 rebounds per game. He was second in the MAC Freedom in assist/turnover ratio (2.6).

Sophomore center James Hawk adds 8.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game and led the MAC Freedom with 2.4 blocked shots per game.

Alec Rodway rounds out the starting line-up at point guard and averages 2.4 assists per game while D.J. Marlow adds 8.9 ppg off the bench.

Delaware Valley is making its fifth consecutive MAC Freedom post-season appearance.

The Aggies are led by senior Chris Moran, the MAC Freedom's leading scorer and rebounder with 19.4 points and 10.1 rebounds per game.

Tyliek Kimbrough adds 12.8 ppg and is second in the MAC Freedom with 4.1 assists per game.

Barry Brockington averages 11.7 ppg while Alex Matsinye and Zach Sly add 8.0 ppg and 7.7 ppg, respectively.

The Misericordia/Delaware Valley winner will advance to Saturday's championship game where they will face the winner of DeSales/Wilkes for an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
