Men's basketball team hosts Santa Fe on Wednesday night

The Eastern Florida State College men's basketball team will be back at Titan Field House Wednesday night in a Central Conference game.

The Titans will host one of the top teams in the country when Santa Fe College comes to Melbourne for a 7:30 p.m. contest.

Santa Fe is receiving votes this week after being in the top 25 for the past four weeks. The Saints come into the matchup 12-2 on the season and has won eight of the past nine.

"Santa Fe is an outstanding team, one of the top teams in the country and very underrated. They are loaded, they have two guards that are high level, they have arguably the best player in the country in Hasan Abdul-Hakim and All-American candidate Bradley Douglas. They have length, they can shoot and they are one of the top teams in the country for a reason," Eastern Florida State College men's basketball coach Jeremy Shulman said. "We have got to play well, execute and play really smart. We have to get back to playing Eastern Florida State College basketball."

Santa Fe comes into the conference matchup as the second-best scoring team in the state, averaging 89.1 points per game. The Saints are led by the duo of Hasan Abdul-Hakim and Bradley Douglas who come in each averaging 14 points per game while teammate Brandon Farmer is averaging 12 points.

Eastern Florida State College comes into the contest looking to get back on track after falling in the conference opener to Polk State College. The Titans are led by the duo of Brody Boyer and Roberts Berze who are each averaging 11 points per game. Boyer is coming off a 20-point game against Polk State.

Wednesday night's game will begin after the women's game which tips off at 5:30 p.m. Admission to games at Titan Field House is free and you can watch the game live online at the EFSC Titans YouTube page.
