DIVISION II DEBUT: Daemen successfully completed a three-year membership process and was approved for active membership status at the NCAA Division II level by the NCAA Membership Committee his past summer...Daemen was accepted as a member of the East Coast Conference (ECC) in July of 2012 and began playing full regular-season conference schedules in the fall of 2013...the 2015-16 academic year will mark the first year Daemen will be eligible for ECC and NCAA post-season play.

MAC IS BACK: Local hoops fixture Mike MacDonald returns to the bench for his second season as Daemen's head coach, and his 19th season overall as a collegiate head coach...in his first season at the helm, MacDonald led Daemen to a 21-10 campaign which concluded with the United States Collegiate Athletic Association Division I national championship last March...by winning 20 games in his Daemen debut, MacDonald became one of the only active coaches in the country to achieve a 20-win season at the NCAA Division I, II and III levels of competition...prior to beginning his stint at Daemen, MacDonald transformed the Division III program at Medaille into a perennial power, averaging 18 wins per season and advancing to the postseason six times in his eight years as head coach...MacDonald made his head coaching debut at the Division I level, leading the program at Canisius from 1997-2006...while there, MacDonald's teams racked up 108 wins making him the third all-time winningest coach in the program's history...to date, MacDonald owns a career record of 291-242.

SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS SCOUTING REPORT (18-4, 12-2 ECC): Saint Thomas Aquinas is led by third-year head coach Tobin Anderson, the 2014-15 ECC Coach of the Year, who has guided the Spartans to consecutive appearances in the finals of the ECC Tournament in his first two seasons on the bench, and an overall record of 54-29 to date (.651 winning percentage)...with previous head-coaching gigs at Division III Clarkson and Hamilton, Anderson owns a career record of 172-92 (.652 winning percentage)...the Spartans were picked second in the ECC preseason poll released in late October...STAC returns nine players from last season's squad which achieved an overall record of 21-11 and an ECC mark of 17-3 which was good enough to share the league's regular-season crown with Bridgeport...included in the lot of returners is five players who made at least 11 starts last season...the group is headlined by 2015-16 ECC Preseason Player of the Year Chaz Watler...Watler, a 6-foot-2 junior guard, averaged 15.1 points and 4.0 rebounds per game while shooting 51-percent from the field and 42-percent from three-point range en route to first-team All-ECC honors last season...also back is a quartet of sophomores - guard/forward Justin Reyes (11.5 ppg, 6.9 rpg), guard Shaquille McFarlan (8.7 ppg), forward Jules de Courtenay (6.8 ppg, 5.0 rpg) and center Sam Berlin (4.2 ppg, 3.4 rpg) - who all produced as rookies last season...Reyes was an honorable mention All-ECC pick, and was selected as the league's Rookie of the Year last season...STAC was one of a handful of Division II teams to score exhibition wins against Division I opponents at this season's outset, downing Saint John's 90-58 at Carnasecca Arena on Nov. 4...the Spartans enter Thursday's game having won 12 consecutive games...their last loss came Dec. 19 at home vs. LIU Post (75-66)...the Spartans avenged that loss in their last outing, downing the Pioneers 71-58 on Feb. 6...Reyes has been the catalyst thus far as he's one of just three players in the ECC to be averaging a double-double (17.3 ppg, 10.1 rpg) at this juncture...Reyes averaged 24.5 points per game over the first four wins in STAC's recent winning streak, and he's been a two-time ECC Player of the Week selection...he currently leads the league in field goal percentage (.613) and his 12 double-doubles rank 6th nationally...Watler has also produced, averaging 15.3 points and 3.4 assists while playing a team-best 30.4 minutes per game...he scored a season-high 29 points in last Saturday's win at LIU Post...additional production has come from McFarlan (10.8 ppg, 49% fg), two-time ECC Rookie of the Week Jonathan Lawton (8.6 ppg, 49% 3pt fg) and returner Aaron Cust (7.4 ppg)...the Spartans enter Thursday's game as the stingiest team in the league, allowing just 69.8 points per game, and ranked No. 6 in the latest D2SIDA East Region media poll.

THE SERIES VS. SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS: Thursday's game marks the seventh all-time meeting between Daemen and STAC...STAC has won three-straight and holds a 4-2 edge all-time...the series that dates back to a 55-53 STAC win on Jan. 28, 2000 and was renewed during Daemen's inaugural season of ECC membership in 2013-14 with the Wildcats sweeping both matchups that season...Gerald Beverly averaged 20 points, 8 rebounds and 8.5 blocks in the Daemen victories, both of which came by just four points...STAC exacted revenge by sweeping last season's two games, a 95-87 shootout in Sparkill (Jan. 16, 2015) and an 85-78 decision at Lumsden Gym (Feb. 20, 2015)...Torrence Dyck scored a career-high 35 points in the January matchup, but Chaz Watler went for 32 points and 10 boards to pace the Spartans...Justin Reyes led a quintet of double-figure scorers with 18 points in the February matchup which spoiled another great individual effort for Daemen...Jordan Greene matched his career-high with 28 points, including the 1,000th of his career, in the defeat...the two teams met for the first time this season last month at Lumsden Gymnasium with STAC scoring an 85-66 win behind the 25 points and 19 rebounds of Reyes...the win made STAC the first team with back-to-back wins at Lumsden Gymnasium since Cedarville did so in their trips here during the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons, and it was Daemen's first double-figure defeat at home since Feb. 15, 2011 against Roberts Wesleyan...Dyck netted 27 points in defeat for the Wildcats.

SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE: Thursday's game between Daemen and STAC features the two hottest teams in both the ECC and the East Region...STAC enters with a region-best 12-game winning streak, having not lost since Dec. 19, while Daemen comes in riding a nine-game winning streak...ironically, Daemen's last victory came at the hands of STAC at Lumsden Gymnasium on Jan. 7...the teams have gone on their respective streaks with strong play at opposite ends of the floor...STAC leads the ECC in points allowed per game (69.8) and is surrendering just 68.2 points per game during their 12-game winning streak, while holding 10 of their opponents in the span to 71 points or less...Daemen comes in leading the ECC in scoring (86.8 ppg) and is averaging 93.1 points per game during their nine-game winning streak.

MERCY SCOUTING REPORT (10-9, 7-6 ECC): Mercy is led by second-year head coach Dr. Jody King who came to the Mavericks after previous head-coaching stints at SUNY Maritime and Hostos Community College...to date, Dr. King owns a career record of 133-83 (.616 winning percentage) in seven-plus seasons as a head coach...in his first season at MC in 2014-15, Dr. King led the Mavericks to an 8-18 overall mark, the program's most wins since an 8-19 record in 2007-08...the Mavericks were picked to finish eighth in the ECC preseason poll released in late October...MC returns seven players from last season's squad, including four who made at least 17 starts...all four players in that quartet - seniors Jeremiah Brown (13.0 ppg, 54% 3pt fg), Jason Quijada (12.6 ppg), Gerald McClease (11.2 ppg, 7.2 rpg) and Lazaro Martinez (11.0 ppg, 4.4 rpg) - averaged double-figure scoring last season...perhaps the brightest news heading into this year was the return of 6-foot-2 guard/forward Tyseem Lyles...Lyles started the first nine games of last season, and was averaging a team-high 18.0 points per game before having his season cut short due to an injury...the Mavericks have won four-straight games heading into their Thursday matchup with Roberts Wesleyan prior to facing Daemen on the weekend, the program's longest winning streak since the 2004-05 season...MC's seven league victories are more than double their total from last season when they went 3-17 in ECC play, and they are currently over .500 overall for the first time in the month of February since the 1992-93 season...recent league victories for MC have come against Queens (82-66), LIU Post (67-65) and NYIT (74-70), and they are coming off a non-league victory (96-76) over a SUNY Delhi team which is transitioning from the National Junior College Athletic Association to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics as it moves from two-year to four-year status academically...Lyles hit the game-winning layup as time expired to deliver the win over LIU Post on Feb. 3...it was just the Mavericks' eighth victory over the Pioneers in 74 all-time meetings...Lyles (12.9 ppg) and newcomer Shaquille Stokes (12.9 ppg), a transfer from Saint Rose, are tied for the team lead in scoring...Stokes netted a season-high 29 points in the win over SUNY Delhi...the Mavericks are also getting double-figure scoring from 6-foot-6 Nyack transfer William Robinson (11.5 ppg, 8.0 rpg) who also leads the team in rebounding...another newcomer, guard K.J. Rose (9.0 ppg) has dished a team-best 56 assists while additional production has come from Isaiah Cosbert (7.6 ppg), although he has missed the last three games...Mercy has been doing damage on the backboard so far this season, ranking first in the country in offensive rebounds per game (16.8).

THE SERIES VS. MERCY: Saturday's game marks the sixth all-time meeting between the Wildcats and Mavericks which dates back to Daemen's inaugural season of ECC membership in 2013-14...the Wildcats own a 5-0 lead in the all-time series, winning by an average margin of 11.8 points per game, although it's been just an average margin of 8.5 points in the two previous meetings at Mercy Gymnasium...Daemen placed six players in double figures, including a combined 35 points from Gerald Beverly and Casey Sheehan, to win the first-ever meeting, a 99-92 decision at Mercy on Jan. 6, 2014...the duo combined for 30 points in an 82-68 win on Jan. 26, 2014...last season, Daemen opened the series with a 90-80 win at Mercy on Jan. 17, 2015 behind Beverly's double-double (25 pts, 12 rebs)...Beverly doubled up again (29 pts, 14 rebs) in the final home game of his career, an 84-69 win against the Mavericks on Feb. 21, 2015...Daemen scored a 94-81 victory at Lumsden Gymnasium when the teams met last month, getting 30 points from Torrence Dyck to lead the way...Isaiah Cosbert came off the bench to score 18 for the Mavericks in defeat.

WILDCATS ENTER REGIONAL RANKINGS: For the first time this season, Daemen earned enough votes to be included in the D2SIDA East Region media poll, debuting in a tie for ninth when the latest version of the poll was released on Monday...Daemen is one of just two ECC teams to be ranked this week, joining their opponent this Thursday, Saint Thomas Aquinas, which is ranked sixth this week...the Wildcats also become the fourth ECC team to be ranked at some point this season, joining STAC, LIU Post and Bridgeport...the East Region of NCAA Division II is comprised of teams from the ECC, Northeast-10 Conference and the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.

SARKIS NAMED ECC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK FOR FOURTH TIME: Freshman guard Jay Sarkis was named the ECC Rookie of the Week for games played Feb. 1-7...Sarkis averaged 14.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in leading the Wildcats to home wins over Dowling and Bridgeport last week...it was the fourth time this season that Sarkis has been named the league's Rookie of the Week (November 23-29; December 28-January 3, January 25-31)...Sarkis' four selections leads the league and Daemen is the only team in the league with multiple players having been selected for the weekly honor.

WILDCATS SWEEP WEEKLY HONORS: Recently, Daemen's Arif Mehmetaj and Deion Hamilton swept the weekly ECC honors for games played Jan. 19-24...Mehmetaj was named ECC Player of the Week after averaging 22 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 70-percent from the field in wins over Molloy and Queens...Mehmetaj narrowly missed a double-double vs. Molloy (19 pts, 9 rebs) and netted 25 points, one shy of his career-high, in the win over Queens...it was Mehmetaj's second selection as the league's Player of the Week this season, having previously earned the honor for games played Nov. 9-15...Hamilton was named ECC Rookie of the Week after scoring a career-high 14 points against Queens on perfect shooting from the field (5-for-5) and three-point range (3-for-3)...for the week, he averaged 11.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.

INSTANT CLASSIC: Daemen emerged victorious last month against thruway rival Roberts Wesleyan,defeating the host Redhawks 98-96 after trailing by 22 points (86-64) with 6:16 remaining in the second half...Torrence Dyck led a furious rally, scoring 18 of his career-high-tying 35 points in the final six minutes in which Daemen outscored RWC 34-10...employing a suffocating full-court press, the Wildcats held RWC without a field goal for exactly six minutes and forced six critical turnovers which aided the comeback efforts...greenhorn guard Jay Sarkis converted 3-of-4 free throws on consecutive possessions to give the Wildcats its first lead since the score was 8-6 early in the first half...a two-point Wildcat lead was temporarily erased following a layup by RWC's Zack Panebianco which knotted the count at 96-all with 16 seconds to play...that set the stage for Dyck who broke the tie with a game-winning drive and layup with just four seconds remaining, completing Daemen's improbable comeback win while playing in his hometown of Rochester...the win represented the Wildcats' ninth-straight in the series overall with RWC, and their ninth-straight at RWC's Voller Athletic Center...the Wildcats have prevailed in 16 of the last 17 meetings and own a 29-11 edge in the all-time series.

ON A ROLL: Daemen enters this week's road trip riding a nine-game winning streak with each win coming in ECC play...it's Daemen's longest winning streak since winning 14 in a row during the 2013-14 season, and it gives Daemen the second-best streak at present among all East Region teams, behind Saint Thomas Aquinas' 12-game string...the stretch started with a 94-81 home victory over Mercy on Jan. 9...the Wildcats followed that with three road wins which came at Roberts Wesleyan (98-96), LIU Post (91-82) and NYIT (83-67), before returning home for wins over Molloy (81-64) and Queens (107-96)...the Wildcats avenged a December loss to District of Columbia by winning in our nation's capital (100-89) to close January with a 9-1 record for the month...the winning ways continued into February when Daemen defeated Dowling (106-102) and Bridgeport (78-69) at home last weekend...looking over a broader stretch, Daemen is 13-3 in their last 16 games after opening the season with one win in their first four outings...offensive production has been the story for Daemen in the last 16 games as the Wildcats are averaging 88.8 points per game in that span, going over the 90-point mark on eight occasions, including seven since the dawn of the New Year...the three-straight 100-point games against Queens, UDC and Dowling marked the Wildcats' longest streak since opening the 2012-13 season with four-straight games topping the century mark...Daemen is now 52-2 when topping 90 points since the start of the 2009-10 season.

DYCK SNAGS CONFERENCE AND NATIONAL HONORS: Senior guard/forward Torrence Dyck was named the East Coast Conference and U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) Division II National Player of the Week after going on a scoring rampage in three Daemen wins during the week of Jan. 11-18...Dyck averaged 30.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game while leading the Wildcats road wins at Roberts Wesleyan, LIU Post and NYIT...the 6-foot-5 senior swingman matched his career-high with 35 points vs. RWC, and added 27 and 30 points, respectively against the Pioneers and Bears...the ECC Player of the Week selection was Dyck's second of the season, having previously earned the honor for games played Dec. 7-13...he also became the second Daemen player in as many years to garner USBWA Division II National Player of the Week honors, joining former Wildcat forward Gerald Beverly who picked up the honor for Jan. 5-11, 2015.

MORE DYCK: As his recent scoring rampage has continued, Torrence Dyck is now averaging an ECC-best 23.4 points per game this season...that also ranks first among all East Region players and 13th nationally among all NCAA Division II players...the 6-foot-5 senior also ranks second in the ECC in field goals made (168), field goals attempted (322), free throws made (97) and free throws attempted (149) and eighth in field goal percentage (.522)...he's scored in double figures in all but one game this season, including 15 games of at least 20 points...he has reached 30 points in four of his last nine games, and now has six 30-point games in his two-year Daemen career...in 43 career games for the Wildcats, Dyck has totaled 912 points (21.2 ppg)...with seven games remaining in the regular season, he needs to average 12.6 points in those games to top 1,000 points and become just the fourth two-year player in team history to do so, and the first since Russell John totaled 1,061 points from 1990-92.

INJURY BUG: Daemen, which has already been without incumbent starting point guard Supreme Hannah since early December due to an injury, was dealt another major blow when starting shooting guard Nick Petrucelli went down on Jan. 22 vs. Molloy with what appears to be a long-term injury...Petrucelli, who had been inserted into the starting lineup in mid-December in part because of the loss of Hannah, had given the Wildcats a viable third scoring option behind Torrence Dyck and Arif Mehmetaj, averaging 10.8 points per game on 46-percent shooting in his 12 games as a starter...if Hannah and Petrucelli wind up missing the remainder of the season, which is the most likely scenario, the Wildcats will have lost a combined 34 games from two of its top backcourt players who were combining to post 21.4 points, 6.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.

FANTASTIC FROSH: As the season has progressed, we've seen coach Mike MacDonald increasingly turn to a trio of freshmen who have made impacts in their rookie seasons...6-foot-1 point guard Jay Sarkis has made 17 consecutive starts, the most starts for a Daemen freshman since Casey Sheehan made 21 during the 2010-11 season (ironically, both Sarkis and Sheehan are products of Greece Athena High School)...he's notched seven double-figure scoring games, and for the season is averaging 9.5 points and 2.6 assists per game, while shooting 49-percent from the field and 43-percent from three-point range...6-foot-4 guard/forward Deion Hamilton, whose insertion into the starting lineup nine games ago coincides with Daemen's recent winning streak, has increased his production of late...after playing a total of 44 minutes in the team's first 11 games, Hamilton has averaged 9.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.9 blocked shots in 22.0 minutes per game since entering the top five of MacDonald's rotation...Hamilton has scored in double figures in three of the last four games...lastly, 6-foot-1 guard Darius Garvin was propelled into the starting lineup for the first time on Jan. 24 vs. over Queens, filling in for the injured Nick Petrucelli...Garvin responded with 11 points and four assists in 33 minutes, by far his most extensive action of the season at that point...Garvin is averaging 8.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 50-percent from the field (10-for-20) in his four games as a starter.

ECC TOURNEY HUNT: An early look at the race for the six ECC Tournament berths has Daemen in prime position with still seven games remaining on the docket...the ECC awards berths to the top six teams in the final regular season standings, with the top two seeds earning byes into the semifinal round...Daemen currently sits alone in second-place in the league standings, and if the season ended today, they would be the tournament's No. 2 seed..the reamining seeds if the season ended today would be: (No. 1) Saint Thomas Aquinas, (No. 3) Bridgeport, (No. 4) District of Columbia, (No. 5) LIU Post and (No. 6) Mercy...the opening round featuring seeds 3-6 will be played at the higher seed while the ECC Tournament semifinals and finals will be played at UDC, regardless of the seeding earned by the participants...details on ticket reservations for the ECC Tournament can be found at the ECC website...this season marks the first that Daemen is eligible to qualify for an ECC Tournament berth...Daemen was in position in each of the last two years to earn a berth had they been eligible.

20/20: Daemen has reached the 20-win plateau in each of the last four seasons (and nine times over the past 13 seasons).

DID YOU KNOW?: Daemen is 12-4 in February ECC games since joining the league for the 2013-14 season.

WHAT'S NEXT: Daemen returns home for three games in a six-day span, beginning with the renewal of the thruway rivalry with Roberts Wesleyan on Tuesday, February 16...for a full look at what lies ahead, check out the Wildcats' complete 2015-16 schedule.
