Pember joins fellow Bulldog Tajion Jones, Winthrop's Cory Hightower, and Longwood's DeShaun Wade as active Big South players that have scored 1,000 points. Furthermore, Pember scored 1,000 points in just 57 games. It marks the 10th-fastest that a player has reached the mark in Big South history.

Asheville, which currently sits in first place in the Big South standings, is in search of its first regular season Big South championship since 2017-18.
