KC Notes:

• Keuka College is now 10-6 all-time against Houghton College
• The Wolves faced the Houghton JV team in their first season of play in 1985-86 and then the varsity in 1986-87, but it was the first time they have met on the hardwood since the 2012-13 season and the first time in an Empire 8 Conference game
• 25 points for Devin Milton is a season-high and one point off his career-high. Milton now has 274 points this season, setting a new personal best
