CSU is coming off an 86-68 win over Campbell University last Saturday. The Bucs' impressive performance was a quick turnaround from their largest defeat only three days prior (73-53 at Coastal Carolina). After being held to only 53 total points against Coastal, the Bucs dropped 49 points in the first half against Campbell and went into the locker room with a 14-point advantage. CSU shot 55-percent from the field and drained 11-of-25 three-pointers. Nimley led all scorers with 20 points while adding in six rebounds and four assists. It was the eleventh time this season that Nimley finished with 20 or more points. Arlon Harper (17), Mathian Muo (16) and Paul Gombwer (10) also finished in double-figures.

Senior, Jeremy Sexton finished with only six points but three of those points came with a historic three-pointer. Sexton hit his 200th-career triple on Saturday. The 200 threes puts Sexton in fourth place on the all-time list at CSU and makes him the 31st player in Big South history to hit at least 200 threes in his career.

In Winthrop's last outing, the Eagles suffered a disappointing 62-56 loss to Longwood University in Winthrop Coliseum. Longwood was 0-10 in conference play before defeating Winthrop on Saturday. The Eagles were cold from the perimeter (6-24) and could not slow down the Lancers offense that shot 61-percent from the field in the second half. Graduate-student, Gideon Gamble led the way for the Eagles with 18 points (7-12 FG) while junior Joab Jerome also finished in double-figures with 14.

Wednesday will be a rematch from CSU and Winthrop's meeting on January 9th in the Buc Dome. Charleston Southern finished with five different players in double-figures en route to a 75-63 win over Winthrop. The win was CSU's third-consecutive victory in the middle of an eight-game win streak.

Head coach of the Bucs, Barclay Radebaugh recalled the first time this seaon, CSU matched up with Winthrop, "It was hard to score against Winthrop in our first meeting. They are a very physical team and an excellent defensive team. They're long and strong which allows them to defend exceptionally well, especially in the half court."

The last meeting was highly-contested for the majority of the game until a 17-7 run by the Bucs midway into the second half built a 60-49 lead. During the run, CSU hit five-straight threes by four different players. The Bucs showcased a balanced scoring attack (five players in double-figures) dishing out 18 assists and holding their turnover total to a season-low of four. Muo finished with a game-high 19 points while Nimley captained the offense with six points but ten assists and only two turnovers.

Charleston Southern remains the most potent scoring offense during Big South games. The Bucs lead the league with 74.7 points per conference game while leading the country in three-pointers made per game (9.52). CSU shoots an impressive 36.7-percent from downtown (first in the Big South). Individually, the Bucs are led by Nimley with 15.8 points (fifth in Big South) and 5.3 assists per game (second in the league) along with Harper's 15.0 points per game (ninth in Big South).

"We have to be able to guard their half-court sets. They get their key guys great shots. We'll have to match their intensity and certainly bring our 'A' game if we want to have a chance at winning in Rock Hill," added Radebaugh.

In sharp contrast to Charleston Southern, Winthrop has a methodical offense that works to slow the tempo down. The Eagles are second in the league in scoring defense (61.1 ppg) and have held eight-straight opponents to under 70 points. Offensively, however, the Eagles are last in the Big South in scoring (60.1 ppg). Sophomore guard, Derrick Henry, leads the offense with 11.6 points per game while Gamble is the only other player averaging more than ten points per game (10.1). Gamble is the only Eagle who is averaging in double-figures during conference play (10.5).

Wednesday will be the first of two road games for the Bucs this week. After the matchup with the Eagles, Charleston Southern will head to North Carolina to take on Asheville on Saturday. Asheville, who is tied with CSU for first in the South Division, plays at home against Gardner-Webb on Wednesday.
