SPARTANBURG, S.C. (Interstat) — A pair of Big South Conference men’s basketball teams looking to build momentum for the league tournament will meet Saturday when the Presbyterian Blue Hose visit the South Carolina Upstate Spartans at the G.B. Hodge Center. Presbyterian (14-14) enters on a two-game winning streak, including a 72-65 home victory over Longwood on Thursday. The Spartans (11-17) seek to halt a three-game skid after a close 68-64 loss at Winthrop the same night. The Blue Hose, sitting at .500, are led by guard Triston Wilson, who is coming off a dominant 28-point performance against Longwood. Over his last seven games, Wilson has averaged 16 points and 4.6 assists, including a 19-point, 11-assist effort in a double-overtime loss to Radford on Jan. 31. South Carolina Upstate will counter with guard Carmelo Adkins, who scored 21 points in the loss to Winthrop. Adkins has been a consistent offensive force, averaging 16 points per game over his last seven contests. He tallied 20 points in an overtime win over Charleston Southern on Feb. 7. The teams last met on Jan. 3 in Clinton, S.C., where Presbyterian secured an 86-77 victory. The Blue Hose have found recent success in tight games, winning their last two outings by a combined eight points. For the Spartans, protecting home court is critical as they try to improve their conference standing. They are 7-6 at the Hodge Center this season, including a 65-60 win over Longwood in late January. Saturday’s matchup will feature two of the Big South’s top scorers in Wilson and Adkins, whose backcourt play could decide a game with significant seeding implications for the upcoming conference tournament.
