JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville State men's basketball team will host Tennessee State on Saturday at 4:30 p.m., right after the Gamecock women play the Tigers at 2 p.m. Students and fans age 18 and under get in free.
The Gamecocks wrap up a quick two-game homestand Saturday afternoon with the first of two meetings with Tennessee State in less than two weeks. They will then take to the road for a three-game swing that will begin in Illinois and end at TSU on Jan. 17.
JSU will look to bounce back from a 73-62 loss to Ohio Valley Conference newcomer Belmont on Thursday, while the Tigers won their third game in a row on Thursday, 72-66 at Tennessee Tech. TSU has now won seven of its last nine games after starting the season 1-5.
The game will mark the 21st meeting between the Gamecocks and Tigers, with TSU claiming 11 of the previous meetings. The series has been dominated by the home team, with Jax State winning eight of 10 meetings at Pete Mathews Coliseum and TSU winning nine of the 10 meetings in Nashville.
The Gamecocks have four players averaging in double figures, led by sophomore Darion Rackley's 13.6 points per game. Senior Tarvin Gaines is adding 12.8 points, while junior Brian Williams is pitching in 11.5 points per contest. Senior Ronnie Boggs rounds out the quartet with 10.8 points and a team-high 5.9 rebounds per game.
TSU also has four players averaging in double figures, led by All-OVC forward Robert Covington's 17.4 points and 7.7 rebounds per night. The senior has missed time recently with an injury, leaving Kellen Thornton to pick up the slack at 14.2 points and 6.9 boards per game.
