The Series: The Cats own a 31-34 record versus the Terriers and come into the game riding a 1game winning streak. The Cats are 3-7 in the last ten games played but are 7-16 in games played in Spartanburg.

Wofford is returning home from a two-game road trip, where they dropped both games (ETSU & Furman), however the last time they played in Spartanburg, they knocked off Samford, 85-77. 

Wofford is led this season by a trio of seniors. B.J. Mack, Messiah Jones and Jonathan Steelman. The team is averaging 74.1 points per game and allowing only 70.2 points. Mack is leading the team in scoring with 15.3 ppg and is also second in rebounding at 5.0 per game, freshman Jackson Paveletzke is scoring 14.5 points per game and leads the team with 90 assists.

Wofford has performed well at home this season, protecting their home court, and coupled with the fact they will be looking to avenge a road loss to the Cats, the Catamounts will need to play a near perfect game to depart Spartanburg with a win and remain in the top four of the conference.

Corey Tripp, Guard  6-3/195 - Soph.  9.3 ppg
Jackson Paveletzke, Guard  6-3/175 Fresh. - 14.6 ppg
