STORYLINES

Charleston is coming off a 76-64 loss to UNCW on Monday night in Charleston, snapping the Cougars' five-game win streak. Jlynn Counter and Christian Reeves led Charleston again, with Counter contributing 20 points and six rebounds while Reeves recorded his fifth career double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Counter has recorded ten 20+ point performances this season and leads three Cougars in the starting lineup averaging double-digit points per game with 16.8. He is followed by Connor Hickman with 11.7 and Reeves with 10.5.
Counter leads the CAA in total assists with 128 so far this season, the 20th most in a single season in school history.
Redshirt sophomore Chol Machot currently ranks fourth in the nation in total blocks (64) and ninth in blocks per game (2.56). His 64 blocks on the year already are the sixth most in a single season in program history. Three against the Pride would move the Australia native to the fifth spot in the record book.
The Cougars continue to be one of the top teams in the nation in getting to the free throw line, ranking 32nd in attempts per game (24.8) and 34th in makes per game (18.3). Chris Mack's program also ranks 34th in defensive rebounds per game (27.36).

LAST TIME VS THE PRIDE

The Cougars overcame a first half deficit to defeat the Hofstra Pride 66-64 on January 29 in Hempstead. With Charleston down 30-23 at the break, the Pride took their largest lead of the contest at 40-29 four minutes into the second half before Counter took over, scoring four straight from the field for Charleston to make it a four-point game.
A 7-0 Charleston run behind post play from Reeves and a Chris Davis Jr. triple tied the game 47-47 with eight minutes to play. The Cougars took their first lead since the opening possession on a pair of Counter makes from the line before extending it to a six-point lead, their largest of the game, in the midst of a 16-3 run. Hofstra cut it to 65-62 with forty seconds to play and secured possession on a jump ball. The Cougars defense held strong, forcing a shot clock violation with 14.2 seconds to play. The Pride had two chances as time expired to send to overtime but could not connect, securing the 66-64 Cougar victory.
Counter had a game-high 22 points, scoring 20 in the second half. The graduate student added ten rebounds and five assists for his second career double-double. Reeves recorded his fourth career double-double, contributing 16 points and 13 rebounds.
