Permit me to begin by announcing that, if there is an ill-informed roundball wrapup following this evening's game, it will not be instantaneous, as my son and I will be heading to Macon to watch Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs take on the Mercer Bears at the sold-out University Center. I don't rule out the possibility that we may visit with MaconDawg while we're there.

The Baptists, who languish at 3-7 overall and stand at 0-2 in Atlantic Sun Conference play, are hosting the Hoop Dogs for the first time since 1994. The Red and Black seek their sixth straight win of the season and their 15th consecutive victory over Mercer (dating back to 1959) in the 75th series meeting between the two teams since they first met on the hardwood in 1907.

Go 'Dawgs!
