Albany, GA- Albany State University men's basketball is set for an electrifying matchup tomorrow, February 8, as the Golden Rams take on Morehouse College at 4 PM inside the Jones Brothers HPER Complex. The highly anticipated showdown dubbed the "Blackout Game," will see fans dressed in black as they rally behind the Golden Rams in a key SIAC battle.

The Golden Rams (14-7, 11-3 SIAC) enter the contest eager to protect their home court after a strong 73-52 victory over rival Fort Valley State on February 1. The team has found its rhythm in conference play and looks to build on its momentum against a surging Morehouse squad. The Maroon Tigers (12-10, 9-5 SIAC) arrive in Albany riding a wave of confidence after securing a crucial 72-52 win over Allen University on Thursday, February 6, marking their third consecutive victory.

The last meeting between these two teams was nothing short of a thriller. Earlier this season, the Golden Rams edged out the Maroon Tigers 76-73 in an overtime battle inside the Tiger's Den, showcasing their resilience and poise in crunch time. With both teams jostling for position in the conference standings, Saturday's rematch promises to be another intense showdown.

Albany State will look to its balanced scoring attack and defensive intensity to stifle Morehouse's offensive threats.
