Furman (15-13, 9-6 SoCon) currently holds fourth place in the Southern Conference standings following a heartbreaking 74-72 loss at first-place Samford on Wednesday night. The Paladins erased a 10-point second half deficit behind a career-high 33 points from JP Pegues, but Samford scored the final seven points in the last 40 seconds to maintain its unbeaten record at home.
 
Pegues, who connected on 6-of-11 three-point attempts and all nine of his free throw attempts at Samford, is averaging 17.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. Backcourt mate Marcus Foster enters Saturday's rematch with the Terriers averaging 17.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. 
 
Wofford (15-13, 8-7 SoCon) is coming off back-to-back losses to UNC Greensboro (58-47) and Chattanooga (81-65). The Terriers, coach by former Furman assistant Dwight Perry, remains in position to join the Paladins in receiving a first round bye at the SoCon Men's Basketball Championship, which is slated for March 8-11 at Harrah's Cherokee Center in Asheville, N.C.
