ABOUT UVA WISE:
Emory & Henry got the best of the Cavaliers in the most recent Southwest Virginia battle, as the Wasps held the Cavs to a nine-point deficit. The Cavaliers couldn't come up big from the arc, only hitting 10 of 26 shots. Isaiah McAmis was the big shooter that aided the Cavs in a near comeback as he hit seven shots from the field and six three-pointers. Kervens Yacinthe added to the effort with eight shots of his own, but wasn't enough to keep the Wasps out of the win column. The Cavaliers are still looking for a conference win, and hope to snag one against Limestone who are coming off their own five-game losing streak.Â
