LAKE WALES, Fla. - The Royals Men's Basketball team will wrap up their 2025-2026 regular season this week when they travel to take on New College of Florida on Wednesday before returning home for Senior Day against Webber International University on Saturday.

The Royals will enter into this week's matchups after coming off a tough week of competition after falling to St. Thomas University on the road last Wednesday 82-68 and dropping a tightly contested game against (RV) Southeastern University at home 74-69. Warner hopes to sweep the season series against the Mighty Banyans on Wednesday after beating them earlier this season at home on January 17th by a final score of 98-68. The Royals will then look to send their Seniors out on a high note when they take on Crooked Lake Rival, Webber International University on Saturday for Senior Day. 

NCF comes into the week after splitting last week's games, first losing at home to (RV) Southeastern 107-65 before taking the win against Webber International on the road 77-71. The Warriors dropped both of their games last week, first falling ot Keiser 105-63 before dropping their home game against the Mighty Banyans. The Royals will look to learn from their previous matchups against these two programs to help them find an edge in what should be two competitive games to end their regular season.
