What to Know

The South Carolina Upstate Spartans and the Presbyterian Blue Hose are set to square off in a Big South matchup at 6 p.m. ET Feb. 16 at G.B. Hodge Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

South Carolina Upstate has to be hurting after a devastating 83-56 defeat at the hands of the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs this past Saturday.

Presbyterian lost a heartbreaker to the Winthrop Eagles when they met in January, and they left with a heavy heart again this past Saturday. The Blue Hose fell just short of Winthrop by a score of 65-61.

Barring any buzzer beaters, South Carolina Upstate is expected to win a tight contest Wednesday. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past three games.

South Carolina Upstate beat Presbyterian 82-72 in the teams' previous meeting last month. Will the Spartans repeat their success, or does Presbyterian have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
