-Wofford 84 - Western Carolina 64
Four Terriers scored in double figures to pace a hot-shooting afternoon at the Ramsey Regional Activity Center in Cullowhee, N.C., as Wofford dropped Western Carolina (8-10, 2-3 SoCon) 84-64 to even its league record to 3-3 and move to 11-7 overall on the season. Junior B.J. Mack and freshman Luke Turner recorded a pair of 20-point performances, including a career-high double-double for Turner, followed by Isaiah Bigelow and Ryan Larson in double figures, as the Terriers shot over 50 percent from the floor (53.4%) for the second consecutive contest.
-UNCG 48 - Mercer 58
Coach Greg Gary and the Bears defeat the Spartans of UNCG, 58-49. Mercer moves to 3-1 in conference gameplay and 7-1 at home this season. Mercer (10-7, 3-1 SoCon) had Jalen Johnson tally 16 points while also going 100% from the free throw line with two blocks as well. Felipe Haase had himself a day too with 13 points and five rebounds along with five assists.
-Furman 69 - Chattanooga 71
Malachi Smith knocked down a pair of go-ahead free throws with 7.6 seconds left and secured the game-winning defensive stop on the other end to lift the Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball team to a thrilling 71-69 win over Southern Conference leader Furman inside a raucous 'Gold Rush' McKenzie Arena on Saturday afternoon. Following the win, Chattanooga moves into first place in the league standings behind a 4-1 record while improving its overall record to 14-4. Furman falls to 12-7 overall and 4-2 in SoCon action.
ETSU 88 - Samford 85
All five of ETSU’s starters scored in double figures and the Buccaneers shot over 50 percent from field, as the Blue and Gold edged Samford 88-85 on Saturday evening inside the Pete Hanna Center in Birmingham, Ala. David Sloan (Louisville, Ky.) made one of two free throws to give ETSU the three-pointer lead with 4.6 seconds remaining and Samford had a look for a game-tying three, but Cooper Kaifes’ attempt from the left wing didn’t fall allowing the Bucs to come away with a key conference road win.
