Key hoops contests for Wednesday

Note: All times local to home team

Women

Gulf South Conference

Valdosta State (13-7, 6-0) at West Florida (13-9, 4-3)--5 p.m. CST

The GSC East leading Lady Blazers can clinch no worse than a tie for the division title with a win over the Lady Argonauts.

Peach Belt Conference

Francis Marion (19-2, 11-1) at North Georgia (9-11, 4-7)--5:30 p.m. EST

On the surface, this contest may appear to be a mis-match. But it's actually an important game for the Patriot women and the Lady Saints. FMU must win to keep pace with Peach Belt Conference East Division leader Lander (20-1, 13-0), while North Georgia needs a win in order to gain a one-game lead in the win column over respective West Division rivals Georgia Southwestern (9-11) and Montevallo (11-10). Both GSW and UM have the night off.

Men

Francis Marion (16-5, 8-4) at North Georgia (12-9, 7-4)--7:30 p.m. EST

There's a lot at stake in the nightcap of this PBC twill bill too, as both the Patriots and Saints look to get back on track after losing some tough games within the last two weeks. FMU has lost three of its last four games after starting the season at 15-2, while North Georgia has lost three straight games.
