The Blazers host the Falcons in yet another critical Gulf South Conference East Division showdown at the VSU P.E. Complex. Not only is sole possession of fourth place in the GSC East at stake, the winner of this game will also go above. 500 in conference play going into February.

On Saturday, Jan. 26, VSU snapped a two-game losing streak at the expense of the University of West Alabama Tigers, as they earned a much-needed win over the Alabama foes, 74-62, at home. Jamahl Stokes scored a game-high 17 points to lead the Blazers to victory.
