The Lancaster Bible College men's basketball team wraps up its week of non-conference games on Friday night when they host St. Joseph's [Brooklyn]. The week has not gone as planned as the Chargers lost on Monday and Wednesday to Penn St. Altoona and Penn St. Brandywine respectively. Friday night offers a chance at redemption for LBC as St. Joseph's is one of the better teams they have faced all year. A win on Friday could help start a late season run that will hopefully take the Chargers to a third straight NCCAA National Tournament appearance.
