Men's basketball travels to UVA-Wise for final road test of regular season

Harrogate, TN -- The Lincoln Memorial men's basketball team prepares for its final road test of the regular season this Wednesday as the Railsplitters travel to Wise, Virginia, for a high-stakes conference showdown against UVA-Wise. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 PM in a match up that carries significant implications for the conference standings. Lincoln Memorial enters the contest with a 16-10 overall record and a 12-8 mark in league play, while the hosting Cavaliers sit at 20-8 overall. UVA-Wise currently holds a narrow one-game lead over the Railsplitters in the conference race with a 13-7 record, making Wednesday's result pivotal for postseason seeding.

Leading the charge for the Railsplitters is Nate Mims, who paces the offense with 12.3 points per game while shooting 46.8 percent from the field. Mims has been a consistent presence in the lineup, starting 22 games and contributing 4.6 rebounds per contest. He is joined in the frontcourt by Walter Campbell, who averages 10.8 points and leads the team in rebounding with 6.4 boards per game. Jayden Spearman also provides a near double-digit scoring punch at 9.8 points per game, while EJ Smith adds 9.3 points and shoots an efficient 44.2 percent from the floor.

The Railsplitters will also look for continued production from their deep rotation. Armon Jarrard enters the game averaging 8.0 points per game, while Drew Lewis follows closely at 7.7 points per outing. Ashton Pennamon provides further depth, averaging 6.7 points per game. As the team looks to close out the road portion of its schedule with a victory, the ability to contain a potent UVA-Wise offense and win the battle on the glass will be essential to pulling even with the Cavaliers in the loss column heading into the final weekend of the regular season.
