The Terriers (6-22, 4-14 SoCon) split their two regular-season meetings with Georgia Southern (9-20, 7-11 SoCon). Each team was victorious on their home courts. GSU took a 79-70 game on Dec. 16 in Statesboro, but Wofford avenged itself last Friday in Spartanburg, blowing out the Eagles by a score of 73-49.
