Sitting with a plump three-game winning streak and a second-place spot in the league standings is Loyola which is coming off a high-scoring 95-80 win at Canisius on Thursday.

Tonight’s game will be a tape delay broadcast on Lockport Cable Television Channel 20. The game will air Sunday at 1 and 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The game can also be heard live on WJJL (1440 AM) and on Niagara University’s official sports website, www.PurpleEagles.com.
