Current Records: Longwood 14-6; Presbyterian 5-15

What to Know

The Presbyterian Blue Hose will be returning home after a two-game road trip. The Blue Hose and the Longwood Lancers will face off in a Big South battle at 2 p.m. ET Saturday at Ross E. Templeton P.E. Center. Longwood will be strutting in after a win while Presbyterian will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Presbyterian was just a bucket short of a victory on Wednesday and fell 61-60 to the South Carolina Upstate Spartans.

Meanwhile, Longwood didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs on Wednesday, but they still walked away with a 64-59 win.

Presbyterian is expected to lose this next one by 9.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Wednesday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

When the two teams previously met in January of last year, the Blue Hose and the Lancers were neck-and-neck, but Presbyterian came up empty-handed after a 71-70 loss. Can Presbyterian avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
