ABOUT UVA WISE
Head Coach Blake Mellinger and his crew are headed to Anderson, S.C. in hopes to get their first overall and conference win of the season after falling to Limestone in a hotly-contested 82-72 final score. Cavalier Kaeleb Carter leads the way for the squad, as he averages 16.7 points per game, ranks in the 11-spot in the conference for total points, and looks to be a key contributor in securing a UVA Wise win. Alongside Carter is newcomer Makai Vassell, who leads the South Atlantic Conference (SAC) in rebounds per game at 11.5 and is 5-6 at the charity stripe (.833). Against the Saints, the Cavs shot 20-25 at the free-throw line, but struggled from the arc and only connected on 4-14 shots.
