TOP WOMEN'S GAME
#5 Valdosta State (15-1, 1-0) at #25 West Georgia (15-2, 2-0)--Saturday 5:30 p.m. EST
With every Gulf South Conference team having played at least one league game, there's already a big showdown for first place in the East Division. The Lady Blazers have won 10 straight games, while the Wolves have a six-game winning streak coming into this contest.
While the Wolves easily handled West Alabama 91-71 on the road Monday, Jan. 14, the Lady Blazers held off a scrappy North Alabama squad to win its GSC East opener, 57-48, the same night.
Of course, something has to give once these teams take to the court, as the winner of this game not only takes over sole possession of first place in the GSC East, but also the distinction of being the lone unbeaten left in division play.
TOP MEN'S GAME
Valdosta State (9-6, 1-0) at West Georgia (9-5, 2-0)--Saturday 7:30 p.m. EST
While the men's teams may not have the national rankings, or the excellent records to match, this contest is no less important for the Blazers and the Wolves.
UWG downed Montevallo, 81-66, and West Alabama, 77-64, in its first Gulf South Conference games. As for VSU, the Blazers needed overtime to knock off its always fierce archrival, North Alabama, 92-86, in their GSC East opener.
Just like in the aforementioned women's contest, first place in the division will be on the line, not to mention the 10th win overall. Oh, and this is the 109th time the men's teams at VSU and UWG have met.
