Another hoops rivalry for Thursday...

and this one will take place in Valdosta, Georgia...and the Gulf South Conference. That's where both basketball teams at Valdosta State University will go for a rare sweep of their East Division rivals from the University of North Alabama.

In the women's game, Valdosta State (12-7, 5-0) hopes to extend its season-high winning streak to nine games with a win over UNA (12-11, 4-1). The Lady Lions split of non-conference games last weekend, losing to Lambuth (Tenn.) 82-71 on January 28, only to bounce back with a 74-51 rout of Talledega (Ala.) two nights later.

The men's contest also features a streaking team in VSU (19-2, 5-0), as the Blazers have won 11 straight games en route to the No. 5 ranking in the latest NABC poll. North Alabama (10-10, 2-3) has had an up-and-down season thus far, as the Lions hope to bounce back after a 82-76 loss at Lambuth last week.
