Wednesday Preview

Second Place Teams Set to Clash in Charleston

Matchup

West Virginia Wesleyan Men's Basketball travels to Charleston on Wednesday to take on the Golden Eagles. It should be an exciting one, as both teams enter tied for second place in the Mountain East Conference at 4-2. Adding to the intrigue, Charleston has not lost at home this season, and the Bobcats are undefeated on the road in the MEC.

Key Statistics

Charleston leads the MEC in field goal percentage at 51.0%.
Charleston has the highest rebounding margin in the MEC, at +10.4 per game.
Wesleyan is fourth in the MEC with 15.91 assists per game.

Storylines

Dusan Vicentic will enter Wednesday's game needing seven points to eclipse 1,000 career points. The Bobcats have won five out of their last seven games, and have won their past two MEC road contests with twenty-plus point comebacks. Charleston has the MEC's leading rebounder in Devon Robinson, so the Bobcats will need to continue their work on the boards from Sunday, where they had a plus-twenty rebounding margin against WVU Tech. Almost three years ago to the day, Wesleyan disrupted the opening night of Charleston's new Wehrle Sr. Athletic Arena with an overtime victory. Captaining the heroics that night was young Sophomore Clay Todd; he will return to the Arena for the final time on Wednesday night as a Redshirt Senior.
