TEAM HIGHLIGHTS
 
MONTEVALLO

• With its 59-57 win over the University of West Florida on Monday night, Montevallo has now won 10 games during the 2019-20 season, which ties last year's total with 14 games remaining. The last time the Falcons won 10-or-more games in a single season came during the 2017-18 season when UM went 15-15.
• Wade Lowman enters Saturday's contest with a 16.6 scoring average, which is the fifth highest in the Gulf South Conference. The next highest Falcon is Jonas Parker, who is 17th with a 14.2 scoring clip. Cedric Jackson rounds out the top 25 as the senior averages 12.2 points a game.
• This is Montevallo's first trip to the state of Tennessee this season. The Falcons have played three games in Georgia — earning three wins — with the rest coming within the borders of Alabama.
