What to Know

The Presbyterian Blue Hose may be playing at home Saturday, but the experts are forecasting a 4.5-point defeat. The Blue Hose and the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs will face off in a Big South battle at 2 p.m. ET at Ross E. Templeton P.E. Center. Presbyterian hasn't won a matchup against UNC-Asheville since Jan. 2 of 2020, but they'll be looking to end the drought.

Presbyterian was expected to have a tough go of it on Wednesday, and that's exactly how things played out. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 66-46 punch to the gut against the Longwood Lancers.

Meanwhile, UNC-Asheville beat the Winthrop Eagles 86-79 on Wednesday.
