LIVINGSTON, Ala.
– After posting a 1-1 mark in the opening weekend of
Gulf South Conference play, the University of West
Alabama men’s basketball team will step away from
conference action on Wednesday night, hosting Concordia
College of Selma at Pruitt Hall. Tip off is set for
7:30 p.m. The non-conference affair will be available
on the B2 Network along with live stats at
athletics.uwa.edu.
The Tigers look to
get to the .500 mark overall on the season after pushing
its record to 7-8 last Saturday with a 70-61 GSC road
win at West Georgia. UWA dropped the league opener to
North Alabama last Thursday. The Concordia match up
begins a season-long three-game homestand for the Red
and White. UWA jumps back into conference activity on
Saturday, Jan. 17, welcoming the Chargers of UAH to
Livingston. The UWA-UAH tip off has been moved back to
5 p.m. The Tigers close out the homestand on Thursday
against Valdosta State on Thursday, Jan. 22.
Junior forward
Jason Swanson paces the offensive charge for the Tigers
with a 14.3 scoring mark per game. The Troy,
Ala.-native led all Tigers in scoring last week with
back-to-back double digit scoring outputs. Swanson
registered his third double-double of the season with 16
points and 11 rebounds at UNA on Thursday. Against UWG,
he turned in 11 points. Swanson continues to lead the
squad in rebounding, pulling down 7.1 boards per game.
As a team, UWA continues to claim the rebounding edge
over its opponents with a +7.1 rebounding margin.
Junior Dominique Coleman posted a season-high 16 points
against UWG. He drained four three-pointers in the
opening half of the nine-point win.
With the win at UWG,
Tiger head coach Eddie McCarter inched closer to the 200
career wins plateau. The win Saturday was McCarter’s
196th in his 15-plus seasons as a head coach
on the collegiate level.
The mid-week tilt with the Hornets of
Concordia will be the seventh all time between the two
schools on the hardwood. UWA leads the series 5-1,
including a 62-57 win last season at Pruitt Hall. |
