CLARION, Pa. - For the first time since the 2009-10 season, the Clarion men's basketball team will compete in the PSAC Tournament, with the Golden Eagles set to take on the Edinboro Fighting Scots on Saturday, Feb. 27.  The game will be held in Edinboro.  Tip-off for Saturday's game has yet to be determined.
