Northeastern comes to Commerce with a three-game winning streak in the balance, with all three wins in conference play. The RiverHawks are second in the LSC-North thanks to their conference record, however, their 8-9 record overall implies that they are the underdog against the 11-5 Lions. A&M-Commerce also has a better home record, having won six of their seven games at the A&M-Commerce Field House this season. With a win, the Lions would retain their current third place position over the weekend.
