NASHVILLE - The Fisk University Bulldogs return home to Henderson A. Johnson Arena for a matchup against Crowley's Ridge College, looking to snap a tough five-game losing streak after a grueling stretch that saw them play five times in seven days. Since last Wednesday, Fisk has had time to regroup and refocus, hoping to capitalize on their 2-2 home record this season. In both home victories, the Bulldogs showcased strong defensive intensity, holding their opponents to just 69 points.

Leading the way for Fisk has been standout Kailon Benton-Hamilton, who averaged an impressive 27 points last week, highlighted by a remarkable 35-point performance versus Union University where he went 8-of-10 from beyond the arc. Benton-Hamilton's scoring surge has come after being taken out of the starting lineup, providing a spark for the Bulldogs' offense during a challenging stretch. Nicholas Beaird-Kennard has also been hot from three. Beaird-Kennard has averaged 19 points per game in six of his last seven games.

 Fisk's two home losses came at the hands of conference rivals Voorhees University and Talladega College, each decided by last-second shots, underscoring the team's resilience and competitive spirit.
