CU enters the final week of the regular season guaranteed at least a share of the WHAC Regular Season Title. With the title, head coach Kim Elders has now won 11 conference regular season titles to go along with 10 conference tournament titles.

Vander Sluis has already demolished the career record, recording 1,420 boards over his four years and he has also tied the single game record twice this season with 23. Vander Sluis' 385 rebounds in 2016-17 ranks third in program history, while his 442 rebounds in 2017-18 ranks second all-time. 
 
Coach Elders 
Head Coach Kim Elders is just one win away from 300 career WHAC regular season wins. In his 26th season Coach Elders has posted a dominant 299-85 WHAC regular season record including 40+ wins over Madonna, Concordia, UM-Dearborn, and Aquinas. 
 
Scouting Lawrence Tech
The Blue Devils enter a busy final week of the season, having four games to play between February 11 and February 18 due to weather forcing rescheduling. LTU has lost each of their last two, to fall to 12-14, 7-10 WHAC on the year putting them in seventh place in the WHAC standings. Senior guard Ty Searles has been the standout for Lawrence Tech, averaging a conference best 23.1 points per game this season. The Blue Devils are much improved in 2018-19, recording a program record 12 wins after winning just four in each of the previous two seasons. 
 
Scouting Siena Heights
A junior heavy Siena Heights squad comes into this weekend hot, winning six of their last seven games including a dominating 92-78 win vs. Indiana Tech. The Saints are led by junior forward Keith Jordan Jr. who leads the team with 17.8 PPG and 6.7 RPG this season. SHU currently sits in fourth place in the WHAC standings as they have already guaranteed their best WHAC regular season finish since the 2009-10 season when they also finished fourth.
