TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology men's basketball team hosts Franklin College on Friday at 7:30 pm in the final game of the HCAC regular season.

ROSE-HULMAN GAME NOTES:
* Rose-Hulman and Franklin close the regular season at Hulbert Arena on Friday night.
* The 8-team HCAC Tournament begins Sunday, with the top 4 seeds hosting games.  Although Rose-Hulman currently holds the No. 2 seed, the margin between the No. 2 and No. 5 seeds based on the league mathematical formula is extremely close.  Elements of the formula will change tonight, based on each team's opponent and results.

* Franklin has an overall record of 11-13 and 7-10 in HCAC play.  The Grizzlies are currently the No. 6 seed in the HCAC Tournament, but the margin between No. 6 and No. 9 is very tight entering tonight's game.
