Game Notes| Live Audio

The Highlanders currently sit in seventh place a game behind the Chanticleers and a half game behind Winthrop.

Coastal Carolina is coming off a tough two-point loss at Liberty on Saturday and have dropped two straight and five of their last seven.

Head coach Tajama Abraham Ngongba will be going barefoot Monday as part of Samaritan's Feet, a non-profit organization dedicated to changing lives through Shoes of Hope distributions.

Each Big South men's and women's basketball coach will go Barefoot For Bare Feet at least once during the season to help raise awareness and support the Conference's initiative with Samaritan's Feet.

In conjunction with these games, Big South member institution SAAC groups will collect new shoes (athletic shoes only), as well as monetary donations, as a $5 donation equals one pair of shoes. Also, a school-specific texting program has been created that will generate $5 donations each time a school-specific “key word” is texted at an event to a provided number.
