Presbyterian (KP #258) opened the season with an 11-point loss at Clemson (KP #54) but have since rebounded to beat VMI in OT (KP #240) and The Citadel in double OT (KP #198) at home.

They're led by the 2021 Big South Freshman of the Year 6'4 G Rayshon Harrison who is averaging 22, 7 & 4 so far, albeit on poor shooting numbers (33% FG, 20% 3FG).

They return all 5 starters from last season's 7-15 squad, but have opted to bring last season's starting center, 6'9 Owen McCormack, off the bench to create a more athletic starting 5 this year where all players range between 6'4 & 6'7.

They've not shot the ball well as a team (36% FG, 22% 3FG) but have made up for it by crashing the offensive glass where they average 17 offensive boards/game.

They currently rank #346 on KenPom for Adjusted Tempo.

The Bearcats are 14 point favorites going into this evening.

Wondering if Vik gets held out again just to make sure he can play in the next game. He seemed ready to roll last game already but it's definitely not worth the risk right now

From Wes's post game Tuesday, going to assume Vik is out tonight. McGinnis as well.

Just win.

Okay thanks for the update. So Hensley is going to get some run tonight!

Vik said he'd be back tonight, but I agree Wes seemed more cautious. I'd guess that Vik won't play, but wouldn't surprise me to see him in.

Edit: Vik expected to play, per Wes Miller according to this tweet. https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/sta...52843818921991

Surprised that they'd even chance it tonight with Vik.

Figured they'd just keep him out until Illinois.

Agreed. Fingers crossed nothing happens.

Hopefully Vik can play tonight. Seems like a game changer.

Lakhin's making a big difference tonight. The frontcourt as a whole is playing very well.

Quite the athletic lineup in that last stretch with Saunders-MAW-Newman-Davenport-Ody.
