JACKSONVILLE – Jacksonville State hosts Fort Valley State Thursday evening at Pete Mathews Coliseum in the Gamecocks' first home game in three weeks.
The Gamecocks (6-7) return home following back-to-back wins on the road at Tarleton State and Little Rock prior to Christmas. The meeting against the Wildcats (3-9) will be the fifth all-time between the two schools. Jax State is 4-0 versus FVSU with the most recent contest coming in head coach Ray Harper's first season on Jan. 10, 2017.
Jax State's KyKy Tandy continues a red-hot scoring streak now leading all Conference USA scorer's with 17.8 points per game. While on the road at Wisconsin, Tarleton and Little Rock, Tandy averaged 19 per night. On the opposite end of the floor, the Gamecock defense is among the best in the country in scoring defense and rebounding. The Gamecocks are coming off a 50-rebound game for the first time in two seasons after collecting 53 in the runaway victory at Little Rock.
With seven boards against the Trojans, senior Juwan Perdue surpassed Courtney Bradley (2005-07) for 10th place on the school's Division I career rebounding list with 430.
Thursday's 6 p.m. contest streams on ESPN+ and will have radio play-by-play call across the Gamecock Sports Network.
Following FVSU, Jax State will welcome Trevecca Nazarene to Jacksonville for the final non-conference game of the season on New Year's Eve.
