Men’s Basketball Face Hunter On Tuesday

Bronx, N.Y. – The Lehman College men's basketball team will look to extends its current 10-game home winning streak as it faces CUNYAC rival Hunter College on Tuesday at The APEX Main Gym with tip-off set for 6 pm ET.  Fans can follow all the action via live stats and live stream.

The Lightning (12-2; 6-1 CUNYAC), who have won 10 of their last 11 games, are coming off a 90-83 conference victory against hosts Medgar Evers College last Friday at Brooklyn's Cougars Cave.  Gian Batista was an assist shy (nine) of a 'triple-double' as he scored 22 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, while Marquese Johnson added a career-high 18 points for Lehman.

Meanwhile, the Hunter Hawks (8-8; 4-3 CUNYAC) won their third consecutive conference game last Friday as they defeated visiting CCNY, 111-99.

The Lightning hold a 19-9 advantage during the head-to-head series since 2008, which includes 12 victories in the last 14 outings.  Both sides squared off three weeks ago at the Hunter Sportsplex with Lehman winning 117-104, behind a career-high 34 point-performance from Batista.

However, the last time the Lightning dropped an encounter at The APEX was on January 10, 2020, when the Hawks pulled a 55-51 upset.
