Last Time Out – Asheville battled back from a nine-point deficit at halftime to upend High Point on the road on Wednesday, 76-72. With the victory, the Bulldogs improved to 10-6 overall and 2-1 in Big South play.
More Milestones for Jones – In a season where he has met several milestones, Tajion Jones is nearing a few more as the Bulldogs continue into Big South play. First, Jones will become the program's all-time games played leader (131) when he suits up on Saturday. Furthermore, he needs just six more points to become the fourth Bulldog ever to score 1,700 points and just the second during the Division I era joining Matt Dickey (1,778 points).
Mr. 300 – Drew Pember became the first Big South player to score 300 points this season after his 28-point outing in Wednesday's win at High Point. Pember is one of just 19 players in Division I basketball that have scored 300 points this season.
Home Sweet Home – The Bulldogs have enjoyed quite a bit of success on their home floor this season posting a 5-0 record. If Asheville knocks off Campbell on Saturday, it'll mark the first time that the Bulldogs have begun a season 6-0 at home since the 2017-18 season.
About Campbell – The Camels are 6-9 overall and 1-2 in Big South play so far this season. Campbell dropped back-to-back league games at Presbyterian (82-72) and Longwood (67-42) to begin Big South play but notched its first conference win on Wednesday against Gardner-Webb (63-58).
Series Rewind vs. Campbell – The series between Asheville and Campbell has been tightly contested over the years with the Bulldogs holding the slight edge, 23-21. The Bulldogs have won the last two matchups against the Camels, including a 60-54 win in Buies Creek last January. Furthermore, Asheville is 7-2 all-time against Campbell in games played at Kimmel Arena.
