Hatters Continue Savannah Invitational Play Tuesday at Air Force

Stetson men's basketball looks to snap a two-game losing streak when the Hatters visit Air Force, 9 p.m., EDT Tuesday at Clune Arena in Colorado Springs, Colo. The game can be seen on the Mountain West Network, a digital streaming platform.

The Hatters (2-2) are also hoping to rebound from a poor shooting performance in Sunday's 73-50 loss at East Carolina. Stetson shot just 20 percent from the field, including a 3 for 31 effort from beyond the arc. Stetson did, however, limit the Pirates to 42 percent shooting while forcing 21 turnovers.

Stetson currently has four players in double figures in scoring, led by sophomore forward Derick Newton's 17.0 points per game. Divine Myles (16.5), Angel Rivera (12.3) and Luke Doyle (10.5) also average more than 10 points per game.

Air Force owns a perfect 4-0 record following an 87-62 win over Florida A&M on Monday. The Falcons, who have played all four of their game at home this season, also boast four players who score in double figures, led by Jacob Van's 13.3 scoring average.
