All-time, Samford trails the Catamounts, 9-4, however, the Bulldogs own a 4-2 record in games played in Birmingham. Last season, Samford and Western Carolina split the annual home-and-home series with each team winning on its home court.
The Bulldogs have picked up six of their eight wins in Birmingham this season and are coming off a 89-78 win over UNCG on Thursday for their first conference victory of the season, so the Bulldogs are hungry to get that second conference victory. The Bulldogs are 1-6 in their last 7 games.
