CHARLESTON, S.C. - The College of Charleston men's basketball team will take on Coastal Carolina for the second time in 26 days tomorrow at TD Arena. Action is set for 6:00 p.m.

STORYLINES

The Cougars and the Chanticleers meet for a second time in 26 days after facing off at the Myrtle Beach Invitational. Charleston won the first meeting 80-72 in Conway.
Charleston holds the 33-9 series edge and has won five straight over Coastal Carolina.
The meeting will be unique as the Chanticleers have a different head coach than they did on November 19 after Cliff Ellis announced his retirement on December 6. Benny Moss, the associate head coach at the time of the first meeting, is the current interim head coach.
Reyne Smith led the Cougars in the first meeting with 24 points. The junior from Tasmania currently ranks fifth in career three-pointers made at CofC (210). Six makes in Monday's contest would move him into fourth.
In Thursday's contest vs. The Citadel, the Cougars bench outscored the Bulldogs 41-2. Charleston ranks 19th in the country in bench points per game (32.40).
Charleston made 13 threes vs. The Citadel, their fifth time this season with 10+. They rank seventh in the country in attempts per game (30.00).
