Goodwell, Okla. -  The Oklahoma Panhandle State men’s basketball team tips-off against Heartland Conference leader Montana State University-Billings on Wednesday night in Oscar Williams Fieldhouse.

One of the hottest teams in the conference over recent weeks, the Aggies have won seven of their last ten games, including at 61-60 victory over second place St. Edward’s last week.

The Aggies are a tough team to beat at home. They are 8-17 overall but have a home record of 7-3. The Aggies are prepared for MSU-Billings, who are the second-highest scoring team in Division II with 97.5 points per game. The Yellowjackets have a season record of 19-4 and have clinched a conference tournament spot.

The Aggies can still earn a tournament berth, and a win on Wednesday night will greatly help their chances.
