About Northern Kentucky: The Norse get the benefit (perhaps) of preparing all week for the Raiders. Their last game was a 74-56 road loss at Youngstown State on Saturday . ... The defeat dropped them out of a first-place tie. They also lost, 7574, at home to Milwaukee a week earlier, squandering a 21-point lead with 16:27 to go. Those three teams are likely to battle the rest of the way for the No. 1 seed in the league tourney . ... Trevon Faulkner, a former all-league pick, has been coming off the bench most of the season and has turned into one of the top sixth men in the league with an 8.6 average . ... The Norse, primarily a zone team, have the top defense in the league, giving up 63.4 points per game. They’re sixth nationally in steals at 9.7 per game. But zones mean fewer box-outs, and they’re one of the HL’s weakest rebounding teams with a margin of minus-1.5 per game.

Raiders finish the regular season with four road games, starting at Cleveland State at 7 p.m. Friday.
