What to Know

The Presbyterian Blue Hose won both of their matches against the Charleston Southern Buccaneers last season (62-61 and 68-48) and are aiming for the same result Saturday. The Blue Hose and Charleston Southern will face off in a Big South battle at 2 p.m. ET at Ross E. Templeton P.E. Center. Presbyterian is out to stop a five-game streak of losses at home.

Presbyterian came up short against the Winthrop Eagles on Wednesday, falling 82-72.

Meanwhile, Charleston Southern was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Wednesday as they fell 79-74 to the Longwood Lancers.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Presbyterian is expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

The losses put the Blue Hose at 5-11 and the Buccaneers at 5-9. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Presbyterian is 18th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 65.1 on average. Charleston Southern has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the 10th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 76.4 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
