Tough Places to Win
Stanislaus State is heading into two arenas that are difficult to win for the visiting team, particularly for the Warriors. The last time a Stan State men's team won at Cal Poly Pomona's Kellogg Arena was Feb. 15, 2008. The Warriors have lost the last 10 games there since. At Cal State San Bernardino's Coussoulis Arena, the Warriors are 0-for-last four games there with the last win over the Coyotes on Jan. 11, 2013.
Better on the Road
The Warriors are one more road victory away from securing a winning regular season on the road (four away games remaining). Prior to this season, the Warriors had only posted two winning seasons on the road with 7-6 overall records (9 wins in 2014-15 and 11 wins in 2013-14 including neutral site games). Stan State had three 6-5 CCAA away-game seasons.
