Men’s Team Hopes to Advance in Conference Tournament
The King University men’s basketball team is charged up and ready to kick off its Conference Carolinas Tournament play this coming Monday night at home. Their passion is palpable as they prepare to face off against Erskine. This isn’t just a regular game; it’s a crucial tournament matchup that could shape their season’s outcome!
What makes this even more exciting is that the Tornado men’s team has been on fire lately; they have wrapped up the season in tremendous form by winning eight of their last nine games. This hot streak secured them the fifth seed in the conference and a well-deserved home game in the tournament.
For fans, this is more than just a basketball game; it marks a pivotal moment as the team is just four wins away from qualifying for the NCAA Division II tournament. The anticipation is building as tip-off time approaches—schedule it for 7 p.m. on the beautiful campus of King University.
Women’s Team Faces Challenge on the Road
Adding to the women’s basketball excitement is the upcoming midweek game against Chattanooga this Wednesday. That matchup is set to take place at 6 p.m. and is anticipated not just for the competition, but also because it coincides with Faculty/Staff Appreciation & Mentor Night. The Mocs are looking to bounce back after a challenging loss against Mississippi State.
Community Spirit Shines in the Chattanooga Game
Chattanooga’s team, currently navigating a 2-3 record, shines defensively, leading the Southern Conference in three-point defense—allowing opponents an average of just 55.6 points per game! The last time King faced Chattanooga, they suffered a heavy defeat, but the Tornado are prepared to bring their A-game this time around.
At the Chattanooga event, fans are encouraged to support the community by bringing clothing, non-perishable food items, and toiletries to benefit the Chatt Foundation of Greater Chattanooga. Collection bins will be conveniently located at all entrances of McKenzie Arena, so fans can contribute while cheering on their teams. Important note for attendees: only Gates 1 & 3 will be open for entry this season!
Stats and Matchups—What to Expect
King University’s women’s team has faced their share of challenges early this season, holding a record of 1-3 after two defeats. Nevertheless, the team is determined, led by senior Mariya Williams, who averages 12.3 points per game and is key in both steals and blocks.
The last clash between King and Chattanooga left King on the tough side of an 88-32 loss. It’s all or nothing as the all-time series currently stands at 2-0 in favor of the Mocs. Can the Tornado turn the tide this time? Fans will have to tune in to find out!
