NOTES
Presbyterian College is in its 108th season of basketball in 2020-21 ... This season will go down as one of the more unique ones in history, with the COVID-19 Pandemic changing sports schedules around the country ... The Big South Conference created a 20-team round robin this season, with teams playing each other in back-to-back days ... The Blue Hose had eight games canceled, and three conference series against Gardner-Webb, UNC Asheville, and USC Upstate postponed ... PC did  pick up a game against Carver Dec. 14 ...

The Blue Hose are on the road for a two-game series at Gardner-Webb ... These games were rescheduled from Dec. 9-10, when they were postponed due to COVID protocols ... 

GWU leads the overall series, 28-23, but PC has taken the last three of four contests, including 68-62 and 65-61 wins to sweep the series last season ...

Gardner-Webb is -11 overall and 5-7 in the conference after a 69-72 loss to High Point Jan. 30 ... The Runnin' Bulldogs are led by Jaheam Cornwall with 13.3 points per game ... Jacob Falko is pulling down a team-leading 5.2 rebounds per game ... GWU is averaging 71.82 points, 34.9 rebounds, and 14,4 assists per game  ... 

Rayshon Harrison leads PC with 15.0 points per game, with Winston Hill pacing the team in rebounds with 6.6 a game ... The Blue Hose are averaging 62.9 points, 33.0 rebounds, and 10.6 assists per game ...

PC is coming off a two-game split against Longwood in its last Big South series ...

Game One Recap (LWU 49, PC 45)
Down by double-digits in the second half, the Blue Hose hit four three-pointers over the final four minutes to rally to within one before free throws at the end sealed the 49-45 Longwood win in game one ... Rayshon Harrison led the team with 19 points, with Winston Hill pacing PC with seven rebounds ...

Game Two Recap (PC 66, LWU 54)
Longwood rallied to within single digits late in the second half, but Rayshon Harrison, who scored 16 of his 20 points in the second half, hit back-to-back free throws as part of PC's 10 in the final 1:20 to quell the run and lead the team to the 66-54 win over the Lancers in game two ...

Due to changes in NCAA transfer rules for this season, Trevon Reddish (CofC), and Brandon Younger (UNCC) are now eligible ... Winston Hill (FMU) became eligible as well, and made an immediate impact with a double-double in his PC debut (12 pts., 12 rbds) ...

With 10 players gone from last season and just four returners, youth is a theme for the season ... Gone from last year is 85% of the scoring, 76% of the rebounding, and 79% of the assist getters ... 

The Blue Hose youth are stepping up ... After 13 games, newcomers are accounting for the four of the top five scorers, top five three-point shooters, four of five rebounders, assists, and steals-getters ...

Rayshon Harrison has been honored as Big South Freshman of the week five times this season ... He is the leading freshman in the conference in several categories, including scoring (15.4), rebounding (5.3), FG pct. (.408), steals (1.8), and minutes played (32.8) ... He leads the team in scoring, defensive rebounds, and steals ... If the season ended today, he'd finish fourth in the PC Division I record book in scoring average ...
