Chipola is looking to conclude an upset hat trick on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m.
The Indians (10-18, 3-8) travel to play conference champion Northwest Florida State (25-5, 9-2) in the season finale.
A loss by the Raiders would make for their only losing streak all season, as Northwest Florida State lost 81-77 on Tuesday at Gulf Coast State. Chipola is on a two-game winning streak with victories against Gulf Coast State (59-51) and most recently a 60-57 home victory vs. Tallahassee on Tuesday.
Chipola sophomore forward Dejuan Marrero is averaging team-highs in points (14.4) and rebounds (12.2). Northwest Florida State sophomore guard Jalen Jackson leads the Raiders with 18.1 points per game and 2.9 steals per game.
Following the Raiders in the conference standings are Gulf Coast State and Pensacola State, both with 6-5 records in the conference. The top two teams make the state tournament, which is March 4 to March 7 in Ocala, FL.
