Five Things to Know Before Canisius Plays at Niagara
1. Griffs and Niagara Meet for the 183rd Time Wednesday Night
• Canisius travels 24 miles north for its final regular-season road game of the season on Wednesday, when the Golden Griffins play at Niagara. Game time is set for 7 p.m. This will be the 183rd meeting between the two programs in a series Niagara leads 100-82. The Griffs have won six of the last 10 games, but Niagara has won three straight, including a 105-89 victory in Buffalo back on Jan. 27.

2. Looking for 20
• Canisius' win over Monmouth Feb. 16 moved the Griffs to 19 wins on the season, besting last season's win total. The victory also gets the Blue and Gold one game away from a 20-win season, which Canisius has done eight times in the previous 113-year history of the program. The 2013-14 team is the last group to win 20-or more games, as that edition of the Griffs scored 21 victories.

3. Crumpton Gets Closer to 1,500
• Senior Jermaine Crumpton moved his streak of scoring 10-or more points to 25-straight games on Sunday when he posted 24 points in the Griffs' road loss at Rider. In that game, he became just the eighth player in school history to reach the 1,500-career point milestone. He heads into Wednesday's game with 1,520 career points to his credit.

4. Double-Double For Reese
• Canisius sophomore Isaiah Reese was credited with his third double-double of the season on Sunday when he posted 23 points and a career-high 12 rebounds. All 12 of his rebounds came off the defensive glass. Reese's four career double-double efforts are the most among active players on the Canisius roster.

5. Molson Ranks Fourth in Freshmen Scoring
• Canisius freshman Takal Molson ranks third on the Canisius roster with his 12.2 points per game. That ranks him fourth among MAAC freshmen in scoring average. The Buffalo native has scored in double-figures 16 times, including his 18-point effort in the loss to Niagara back on Jan. 27.
