JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville State men's basketball team will host Belmont on Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the second game of a doubleheader with the JSU Women, who play the Bruins at 5:30 p.m.
 
The Gamecocks return to the friendly confines of Pete Mathews Coliseum for the first time in three weeks to take on a Belmont team that is currently tied atop the Ohio Valley Conference's East Division standings. JSU played four games in the state of Tennessee over the past two weeks, including a loss at Belmont on Jan. 29 to start the trip. The return to Pete Mathews
 
Coliseum is a welcomed one for the Gamecocks, who are 8-3 at home so far this season and have locked up their 36th winning season in 40 years of basketball in The Pete.
 
JSU has gotten some added production from freshman guard Malcolm Drumwright over the past few weeks. In two games last week, the Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., native averaged 14.5 points per game and shot a blistering 53 percent from the floor and 60 percent from behind the arc. He scored 12 points at college basketball powerhouse Memphis last Wednesday before a 17-point outing at Tennessee Tech on Saturday.
 
Senior Darion Rackley scored 25 points in the loss at TTU but moved into 15th on the school's all-time scoring list. He is currently third on the school's Division I scoring list with 1,256 career points, 11 behind Brian Williams in second place. He also needs seven made free throws to pass Melvin Allen's school record 463 from 1982-85 in that category.
 
The Bruins are looking to rebound after dropping a pair of road games at Eastern Kentucky and Morehead State last week. They are led by Craig Bradshaw's 17.9 points per game, which rank third in the OVC.
