WOMEN'S GAMEDAY PREVIEW

The Lady Yellow Jackets are riding the momentum of a five-game winning streak and are currently in sole possession of third place in the SIAC East Division after a strong 69-56 win over Tuskegee University. The backcourt duo of Morgan Smith and Eboni Clay continues to be a spark, blending scoring and intensity on both ends of the floor.

Junior forward Peighton Jambor has been a standout all season, while Gaurd Daiysha Brown is playing good basketball all-around for the Lady Yellow Jackets. The team's defensive identity and clutch shot-making have been the backbone of their late-season surge.

Key Storyline: Allen seeks to extend its streak to six against a Miles team who won the SIAC championship last season and currently ranks #16 in NCAA DII women's basketball.

MEN'S GAMEDAY PREVIEW

Allen Men's Basketball (4–15, 3–14 SIAC) returns to the hardwood for a prime-time matchup vs Miles College, one of the top teams in the SIAC West (13–5 SIAC, 15–5 overall). While the Jackets sit in the rebuilding phase, currently 3–14 in conference play, they've shown flashes of cohesion and toughness.

Christopher McKnight leads the team in scoring at 14.5 PPG and backcourt mate Shadale Knight (12.8 PPG, 6.2 RPG) has added grit to the team.

This game marks a pivotal moment for the Yellow Jackets to test their mettle against a high-performing Miles squad. With postseason implications narrowing, every possession counts.
