As of Monday morning, Bentley's home game against Southern New Hampshire has been moved from Tuesday, Feb. 24, to Wednesday, Feb. 25.

WALTHAM, Mass. – With one game left in the regular season, the Bentley men's basketball team sits one game out of first place in the Northeast 10 when the Falcons host Southern New Hampshire Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 7:30 p.m.
 
What's at stake
Bentley (19-7, 12-5 NE10) sits in second place the NE10, while Saint Anselm (20-7, 13-14 NE10) is in first. A Bentley win over SNHU, coupled with a Saint Anselm lost against Saint' Michael's, would allow the Falcons to tie for the best conference record. At worst, Bentley would finish the regular season tied with Assumption (16-10, 11-6 NE10) for second place in the conference.
 
Senior celebration
Before tipoff against SNHU, Bentley will celebrate seniors Joe Carroll, Cash McClure, and Chase Clarke.
