Greenville, S.C. – Furman basketball returns to the road Tuesday evening when it visits Charleston, S.C., to take on the Charleston Southern Buccaneers. Tip-off at Buccaneer Fieldhouse is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and the game will be streamed live on ESPN+.
 
The Paladins are off to a 2-0 start after scoring a 70-63 victory at defending Big South Tournament champion Gardner-Webb last Tuesday and a decisive 87-63 triumph in their home opener versus Loyola Chicago this past Friday night at Timmons Arena. Jordan Lyons scored 24 points and Clay Mounce added 22 to key the Paladins' victory over the Ramblers, which marked Furman's 18^th win in its last 20 regular season non-conference contests.
 
Tuesday night's tilt in Charleston will be the 17^th meeting between the Paladins and Buccaneers with Furman holding a 9-7 series lead. Last season, the Paladins claimed a 77-68 victory over the Bucs in Timmons Arena behind 19 points from forward Noah Gurley and 16 apiece from Alex Hunter and Andrew Brown.
