NEW ORLEANS (Interstat) — The undefeated William Carey Crusaders will put their perfect record on the line Thursday when they visit the Southern University at New Orleans Knights in a men’s NAIA basketball matchup.

William Carey (3-0) enters the contest riding a wave of high-scoring offense, having won its three games by an average margin of 28 points. The Crusaders are coming off a dominant 109-58 victory over Southeastern Baptist on Oct. 28, where Travis Williams led the charge with 22 points. Troy Dunn added 17 points and Anthony Robinson contributed 13 points and six rebounds in the win.

Conversely, SUNO (1-3) looks to halt a three-game slide. The Knights’ most recent outing was a 77-66 loss at Texas Wesleyan on Nov. 1. In that game, Jamal Gibson recorded a double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds, while Dorian Booker and Caleb Williams each added 12 points. The Knights’ lone victory this season came in their opener, an 86-81 win over Texas A&M-San Antonio on Oct. 25.

The game will be the first of two regular-season meetings between the teams. They are scheduled to meet again on Dec. 18 in Mississippi. William Carey will next play at Louisiana Christian on Nov. 15, while SUNO will host Loyola (La.) on Nov. 10.
