Men's Basketball Geared Up for Semifinal Showdown with Marymount

IMMACULATA,Pa.- The Immaculata men's basketball team travels to Arlington, VA for an 8:00 PM matchup in the Atlantic East Conference Semifinal matchup with Marymount.
 
The Mighty Macs are coming off a 70-69 victory over Neumann in the quarterfinals, which saw freshman Mandon Seapoe knock down a foul shot with 3.1 seconds remaining to propel the team over the Knights.
 
The two programs have matched up twice this season, with the Saints taking the first contest 74-72 on January 3rd in Arlington. The Macs got the better of the Saints at Alumnae Hall on February 3rd with an 84-73 victory.
 
When asked what the team's mindset was heading into tonight's matchup with the Saints, senior guard Gregory Vlassopoulos stated, "We have a lot of experience as a team, we know what needs to be done to execute our jobs and play our style of basketball. The vibes are high in the locker room and we are ready for the challenge that lies ahead."
 
The Mighty Macs are led by their graduate student big man Tyler Tillery, who is averaging 12.0 PPG and 9.4 RPG. Freshman Dinero Washington has picked it up a notch since the beginning of conference play, where he bumped his scoring average for the season to 12.0 PPG.
 
Senior guard Gregory Vlassopoulos is averaging a career best 10.2 PPG while shooting 37% from beyond the arc. Junior forward John Proctor is fourth on the team in scoring averaging 9.7 PPG and 4.4 RPG. Junior guard Dylan Crews leads the team in assists with 62, while averaging 7.8 PPG.
 
Graduate student Tim Schultice, senior Keith Farmer, juniors John Flood, and freshman Robbie Logan , Mandon Seapoe, and Idan Zuker all hold key roles in the Mighty Macs rotation.
 
"It's a tough matchup. They are the #1 seed for a reason. We travel to Marymount and play them on their floor, with their fans… it won't be easy." Said Head Coach Jayson Hyman. "I like our team. We match up well in some positions and played tough matchups both times during the year. If we follow the gameplan, I think it could come down to the wire again."
