Eastern Florida State College's men's basketball team will face Indian River State College on Wednesday, March 5, in a Citrus Conference matchup at Titan Field House. The game, which tips off at 7 p.m., marks Sophomore Night, honoring four players — Tyson Wilson, Joviel Acevedo-Arroyo, Misael Cruz Rodriguez, and Eby Ogoh — for their final home appearance. Admission is free for the event, which comes as the Titans enter the contest with a nine-game winning streak and a 10-3 record in conference play.
The Titans have dominated Indian River this season, defeating them 97-80 in the season opener on Halloween and 97-88 in January. Eastern Florida State College sits in third place in the Citrus Conference, trailing Daytona State by a half-game with three regular-season games remaining. Coach Steve Thompson said the team is focused on maintaining its momentum ahead of the postseason.
The game will be the final home appearance for the four sophomores, who have played key roles in the Titans' success this season. Wilson, a standout guard, averaged 14.2 points per game last month, while Acevedo-Arroyo led the team in rebounds with 8.5 per contest. The event will feature postgame recognition for the players, with fans encouraged to attend in support.
Indian River State College, which has struggled this season with a 4-12 conference record, will look to break the Titans' winning streak. The game is part of a three-game road swing for the River Hawks, who have lost their last eight contests. Eastern Florida State College's athletic director, Lisa Martinez, said the team is excited to host the event and highlight the contributions of its sophomores.
