What to Know

The Jacksonville State Gamecocks and the Jacksonville Dolphins are set to clash at 7 p.m. ET March 5 at Pete Mathews Coliseum in the third round of the Atlantic Sun Conference Tourney. Jacksonville State is out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.

The Gamecocks didn’t have too much trouble with the Kennesaw State Owls at home on Thursday as they won 78-67. Jacksonville State’s success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but guard Darian Adams led the charge as he had 17 points and five assists.

Meanwhile, Jacksonville earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing on Thursday. They took their contest against the Cent. Arkansas Bears 79-69. Jacksonville’s success was spearheaded by the efforts of forward Bryce Workman, who had 21 points along with six rebounds, and guard Kevion Nolan, who dropped a double-double on 15 points and ten boards.

A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Jacksonville State ranks 33rd in college basketball when it comes to field goal percentage, with 47.40% on the season. But the Dolphins have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 39.30%, which places them 17th in college basketball. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
