TEAM HIGHLIGHTS
 
MONTEVALLO
  • Montevallo is coming off an exhibition game in which four Falcons finished in double figures with Ivan Smith leading the way with 14 points. Xavier Malcom and Cedric Jackson both added 12, respectively, while Kevin Smith chipped in with 10 on 4-of-4 shooting from the field, including a 3-pointer and one free throw.
  • In his first game since scoring 24 points against Delta State on Nov. 23, Jonas Parker returned to action in the Falcons' exhibition game against UAB on Saturday, Dec. 14. Parker, a junior forward from Brooklyn, New York, played 24 minutes, brought down three rebounds and scored four points, including sinking two free throws.
  • Ivan Smith's 14 points against UAB on Dec. 14 tied his career high, which he set on Nov. 16 when he went 4 of 6 from the field, including a 3-point basket and five free throws against Miles College.  
 
WEST GEORGIA
  • West Georgia's two wins this season have come on a combined seven points. The Wolves beat Benedict, 74-69, on Nov. 13, then up-ended Morehouse College, 75-73, on Nov. 26. The Wolves have dropped their last two games by a combined eight points after losing, 86-81, at Columbus State, then 71-68 against North Georgia.
  • Home games haven't been so sweet for West Georgia as the Wolves have dropped all four contests inside The Coliseum so far this season. UWG dropped games to Embry-Riddle (60-85), Palm Beach Atlanta (86-87), Queens (85-92) and North Georgia (68-71).
  • Kovi Tate, who has started all nine games for West Georgia this season, leads the team with an 18.4 scoring average to go along with 8.8 rebounds per game. Kadeim Jones (16.4), Seth Brown-Carter (13.6) and Oronte Anderson (12.7) are also double-digit scorers for the Wolves.
