Furman (18-6, 9-2 SoCon) enters this season's "Weekend at the Well" in first place in the Southern Conference and riding a five-game winning streak after downing defending SoCon champion Chattanooga 79-58 at Timmons Arena on Wednesday night. Fifth-year senior Mike Bothwell, Furman's leading scorer at 19.0 points per game paced the Paladins with 17 points and a career-best nine rebounds while fellow fifth-year senior Jalen Slawson notched his seventh double-double of the campaign with 15 points and 11 boards to go along with six assists, four steals, and two blocked shots versus the Mocs. Slawson has averaged 15.7 points and a team-best 7.1 rebounds per game this season.
 
The Paladins, who downed Wofford 96-82 in Spartanburg, S.C., in the first meeting of the year on January 22, are looking to secure their second straight regular season sweep of the Terriers (13-11, 4-6 SoCon). Furman holds a 90-62 lead in the all-time series versus Wofford and has won each of the last three meetings. A victory on Saturday would give the Paladins their first four-game winning streak in the series since accomplishing the feat from 2003-05.
