Big South Tournament ...

Should the teams still be tied after the regular season, the Big South will look to several tiebreaker scenarios.

Honoring Our Seniors ...

These seniors have been instrumental in turning the program around and led it to consistent improvement on both sides of the field. This class has a program-best 26 wins currently and played vital roles in the program's first Big South Tournament title and advancement into the NCAA Tournament in 2017.
